N1  - IPCC Workshop on Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change
N2  - Adaptation in response to climate change seeks to maintain viability by maximising potential losses. Adaptation is becoming necessary because soMe climatic change is now enevitable, despite the international focus on measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Indeed, the measures agreed to at Kyoto will result, if adhered to but not supplemented, in only a slight reduction in the climate changes to be expected over the next century
