Wrap-Up Thoughts
1. There's a lot of activity on adaptation
1. What is Adaptation?
2. Companies are adapting to the weather, not climate change
3. Are we placing a big bet on the "predict then act" approach to adaptation planning?
4. Will adaptation be "mainstreamed" in such a way as to "disrupt" an adaptation market?
Adaptation has very different cognitive characteristics, and therefore faces different barriers
Adaptation is agnostic
Adaptation is autonomous
Adaptation is effective
Adaptation is local
Adaptation is proportional
Adaptation will certainly be important, but it can't be "the" answer
Are we running away from mitigation, as opposed to embracing adaptation?
