This book provides an excellent review of how these mitigation and adaptation measures in a number of sectors could affect biodiversity, either positively or negatively and seeks to identify those which contribute to mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity – a triple win situation. It thus provides the fi rst step in identifying where such synergies may exist and thus the most effective ways of tackling climate change. These measures now need integrating into environmental and climate change policy, so that the worst impacts of climate change can be avoided.
