Dr. Rory O'Donnell:

A request to us from the Department is primarily about abatement rather than adaptation to climate change. Our work so far has been primarily about that but there is a strong reason to believe the incidence of extreme weather events is connected to climate change and there is no question that that involves new forms of adaptation. Our work so far has not gone into great depth on the challenge of adaption to climate change, and our work between now and the end of the year will probably not do so.
