- 'Global Adaptation Institute' Endorses Climate Week Nyc Focus On Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience
NEW YORK, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "A focus on 'resilience,' on climate adaptation, must be at the center of any realistic approach to climate change. That is why we're here on this first day of Climate Week NYC," commented Global Adaptation Institute CEO Dr. Juan Jose Daboub to reporters after the keynote panel discussion on "Risk and Resilience," co-sponsored by Swiss Re and the Climate Group. The need for urgent action on adaptation measures is supported by the study Swiss Re released today that finds cost-effective adaptation measures can mitigate potential loss by 90 percent in some cases. Global Adaptation Institute (www.GlobalAdaptationInstitute.org) endorses this important focus on climate resilience," affirmed Daboub at the climate gathering.

It details arguments regarding the scientific viability and legality of assisted migration under the thicket of laws that govern natural resources in the US. The article explains why contemporary natural resource law's fidelity to historic baselines, protecting preexisting biota, and shielding nature from human activity is increasingly unte...
