Climate Change and Water Governance Adaptive Capacity in Chile and Switzerland /
Climate Change and Water Governance presents the results of several years<U+0019> research focusing on adaptive capacity and water governance in two widely-separated regions of the globe, namely the Swiss Alps and the Chilean Andes. The two regions share many similarities in hydrology and wate...
