Adaptation measures are needed but require a thorough and spatially differentiated understanding of underlying ecological, economic and social processes.

This book offers an up-to-date review of our current understanding of climate change in the North Sea and adjacent areas, as well as its impact on ecosystems and socio-economic sectors.
