… issue of climate change. Climate Resilience - this is the capacity for a socio-ecological system to: (1) absorb stresses and maintain function in the face of external stresses imposed upon it by climate change and (2) adapt, reorganize, and evolve to improve the sustainability of the system, leaving it better prepared for future impacts. Climate Change and its impacts…
… and trade - extreme weather can affect international food production, trade and supply chains. Longer-term incremental changes in climate will affect agricultural productivity in regions that are important for food production. At the same time, climate change will present risks and opportunities for domestic production. 6. New and emerging pests and diseases and invasive non-native species…
… and organisational responsibility, lifestyle change, education and awareness raising, and consideration of environmental and ecological issues for future generations. The Action Plan is divided into two distinct sections based around mitigation measures and adaptation measures.
