threat to our way of life. Responses to address climate change, both mitigation
and adaptation, are linked to sustainable development. In this study, we first

the relations between sustainable development and climate change are discussed.]]>Barker, T., I. Bashmakov, L. Bernstein, J.E. Bogner and P. Bosch et al.,20072007pp: 25-94pp: 25-94Bravo, F., V.
