Abstract

The process of climate change adaptation is characterised by a great deal of complexity. Its successful implementation may only be achieved by a combination of a wide range of approaches, methods and processes. Climate change adaptation also needs innovation. Based on the perceived need to explore the links between climate change adaptation and innovation, this paper defines how innovation can support climate change adaptation, and suggest a variety of approaches which may help to realise its potential.
