Integrating climate change adaptation and human development: a commentary.

Abstract

I discuss why integration of global climate change and human development aid pro- grams requires consideration of some understudied uncertainties in making projections of future cli- mate and environmental conditions at local and regional scales, and further, the value-laden policy consequences of dealing with uncertainties for national and international development programs. Additionally, I propose that conflicts between the interests of humans and other species be given greater attention than has been done by those involved in human development aid.
