Climate Change Adaptation Article Summary We have enough problems in the world to worry about, but a main one would have to be climate change. Within in an article, “Improving Climate Change Adaptation in Least Developed Asia”, the authors brings attention to the efforts that are ongoing to three different adaptations created by the National Adaptation Programs of Action in Cambodia, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and the Maldives. The article goes over each climates of the parts in Asia and most have changing patterns of industrialization, so climate change is happening all of the time. It also goes over the overview of climate change vulnerabilities, which is effective because it shows the audience what kind of environmental disasters they go through as the population continues to live within these certain areas. There are detailed projects that donors would contribute to the benefits of what each country needs in order to go through climate change adaptation. For example the proposal for the Maldives government would be see that “the project promotes capacity development by establishing a climate information system to collect, analyze, and disseminate data on the risks of climate change” and so on to have this available for their people.
