- Disparities in exposure to climate change risk and vulnerability, including
variations in people’s location, wealth, social differences (age, gender,
education), risk perception
- Detailed examples of two or more societies with contrasting vulnerability
- Government-led adaptation and mitigation strategies for global climate change:
- global geopolitical efforts, recognizing that the source/s of greenhouse gas
emissions may be spatially distant from the countries most impacted
- carbon emissions offsetting and trading
- technology, including geo-engineering
- Civil society and corporate strategies to address global climate change
- Case study of the response to climate change in one country focusing on
the actions of non-governmental stakeholders
