Sustainable Human Settlement and Climate Change Adaptation in China

Abstract:

A sustainable human settlement is a healthy environment to work and live in. The need is becoming obviously in the decline in environmental quality as well as global climate change. Climate change and related hazards are having impacts on human settlements causing major loss of life, social disruption and economic hardship. The unvalued nature of sustainable human settlement makes it difficult to incorporate the environment in the normal calculation schemes of rational market behavior. Linking of climate change adaptation with sustainable human settlement is important and starting to happen although there are significant barriers. Many settlements in China are at risk and need to adapt and reduce risk. Addressing the challenge of climate change must be established to meet the needs of providing a sustainable human settlement base on which to develop and implement public policies.
