Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This article provides an overview of existing research on the adaptation of Micro Small and Medium size Enterprises (MSMEs) to climate change. The article summarises how existing research has addressed such adaptation with a focus on MSMEs in both developed and developing countries. It also shows how MSMEs have adapted to climate change by summarising case studies from the literature and discussing their implications for both adaptation research and MSMEs. The article outlines the threats and opportunities that climate change represents for MSMEs and discusses the opportunities related to progress in respect of international policies regarding adaptation funding and for MSMEs to
engage in adaptation planning.
