Browsing the world of climate change adapation web sites, we find ACT, the Adaptation to Climate Change Team. It is a policy planning initiative from Simon Fraser University designed to develop timely options for sustainable adaptation to climate change impacts.
ACT is a five-year series of six-month sessions on top-of-mind climate change issues that brings leading experts from around the world together with industry, community and government decision-makers to explore the risks and generate recommendations for sustainable adaptation. (From the program page.)
Their most recent conference and policy recommendations concerned adaptation to extreme weather events. Conference information is here. And here are direct links to the conference recommendations and background report.
ACT also has a blog. In the last few months, the blog has been more about mitigation, perhaps because of the media attention on Copenhagen. However, they promise more in 2010 on energy and water security.
The blog has commentary and citations on agriculture, extreme events, fishing, health, population displacement, water, and more.
