Adaptation: why institutions, not aid, are the answer
Experts will argue that prosperity and the institutions of free societies – not foreign aid or mitigation – are inherently the best way to reduce humanity’s vulnerability to climate change. Adaptation only occurs with economic, social and political freedom, property rights and the rule of law.

Hotspots analysis for climate change impact [early] warning
Hotspots are a critical step of environmental degradation and are irreversible without human intervention. Climate change is a trigger that precipitates the development of new hotspots. Typical vulnerability patterns leading to hotspots can be identified and used for advanced early warning.
