Happy to see an extract from my book on adaptation up on @BackchannelNews, part of a series leading up to COP 30. The first piece asks, why adapt and why do we need the finance for adaptation at COP 30? https://t.co/khwoE7AgOe

My new book is coming out in the UK this week! It's for anyone interested in adaptation. I argue we need to address the hard choices coming up. Choices like should communities move away from the coast and what role should the military play. Please pre order now!
