Produktbeschreibung
We are living in an age defined by disruption and uncertainty-where wildfires rage, coastlines recede, storms intensify, disease vectors expand, and the future grows more unpredictable by the year. It is a story of innovation, adaptation, and action. In The Climate Adaptation Generation, Robert W. Collin-legal scholar, urban planner, social worker, educator, and environmental justice advocate-charts a specific, direct and urgent path forward. This book is both a call to action and a practical guide for communities, educators, policymakers, and young leaders. Drawing from decades of interdisciplinary experience, Collin introduces a comprehensive blueprint for climate adaptation grounded in place-based planning, human flourishing, and intergenerational wisdom. Each chapter features targeted Advocacy Briefs and a Planner's Toolkit-concrete, actionable tools to turn ideas into impact and policy into action. From personal environmental impact statements, community-centered strategies, case studies from around the globe, and the use of AI in all climate adaptation responses, this is not just a book, but a toolkit for the Adaptation Generation: the people ready to build a climate adaptation right here, right now. "We are not just adapting to climate change-we are adapting to Nature."
Autorenporträt
I have taught, researched and published in law, social work and urban and environmental planning for over 40 years. I have also been appointed to advisory commissions by 3 state governors and 3 presidents. I have published many law reviews, 2 were the first on the topic in that genre. I have published 9 volumes of encyclopedias, some with my wife Robin Morris Collin. 2 were the first in that genre - the book on the EPA was mine. The 3 volume set on sustainability was ours. My book, Battleground Environment, 2 volumes, described the 100 most controversial environmental issues from the perspective of the community, government, and industry. I have also been certified as an expert witness in US federal court and in state Court. I have won 2 awards, decided by students. The American Institute of Architects awarded an interdisciplinary committee I chaired to us for creating a new required course called "Environmental Choices" https://amazon.com/author/collin.com
