User feedback is essential in driving the climate research towards addressing climate services requirements for adaptation planning, risk management and sustainable development.
Fratkin (1986) reported that an increase in the number of children going to school could result in a more limited family labor pool, whereas an adequate labor force is central to other adaptation and risk management strategies in pastoral areas.
Projections that climate change is likely to increase the frequency, intensity, duration, and spatial extent of some extreme events over coming decades is added incentive to strengthening ties between the health sector and the research and practice communities focused on adaptation, disaster risk management, development, and climate science.
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) [ 42] focuses on building an engineering and systems-wide capacity for dynamic adaptation [ 43] through risk management.
The need to integrate climate change adaptation (CCA) considerations into disaster risk management (DRM) systems is widely recognised.
In a climate change perspective, projections of such return values to a future climate are of great importance for risk management and adaptation purposes.
From a critical perspective on the role of expertise in risk debates, this paper looks at how Swedish experts understand risk to drinking water in a climate change scenario and how they reason about challenges to risk management and adaptation strategies.

Adaptation is not an effective risk management strategy for poor air quality, because physiologic mechanisms to decrease susceptibility to ozone and other air pollutants are limited.
We selected these three thematic areas because of their salience in both the NPM and adaptive-capacity literatures; we do not claim that Table 1 captures either the characteristics of NPM or adaptive capacity comprehensively.> In the next section we present two very different case studies of risk management and adaptation to environmental change in the context of New Public Management.
