Adaptation measures (AMs) and mitigation policies (MPs) to climate change and sustainable blue economy: a global perspective

Erratic patterns in climate have been forcing people to develop new adaptation and mitigation tools. Although world leaders have agreed to control greenhouse gases' (GHGs) emission, the current rate of emission may not stop global climate change (GCC). Scientists have been working to scientific...
