Adapting production forests in southern Sweden to climate change Constraints and opportunities for risk spreading

Abstract

Originality/value - Conceptual equivalents of the "risk spreading" approach are international, due to the need for many societies to adapt social-ecological systems to climate change. The issues raised from this case study/synthesis provide value insights regarding the breadth of systemic constraints which can thwart attempts at rapid adjustment to climate change, and where solutions to these constraints may be found.
