About this book

Recent scientific research on the Mediterranean indicates that climate change will exacerbate many of the area's existing problems, including desertification, water scarcity and limits to food production. Changes in weather patterns and average temperatures are also likely to introduce new threats to human health and natural ecosystems. To prepare for these future problems, the authors highlight the likely impacts and identify potentially vulnerable situations.
