Abstract
Climate change is one of the most important challenges of our time, and our knowledge regarding its consequences is improving rapidly. In addition to international treaties and accords, an increasing number of actors from science, research and technology are calling attention to potential solutions. The expected impacts of climate change are difficult to forecast with certainty, creating challenges for the analysis of the capacity and willingness to adapt in different social and economic systems. There are two three-pronged sets of objectives in climate change and sustainability. On the one hand, the dimensions of the economy, society and the environment must be harmonized, and on the other hand, there are the possible measures (adaptation, mitigation, climate consciousness). Adaptation and sustainability are closely interconnected and reinforce each other.
