Summary Climate Change Adaptation and Human Capabilities explores the growing interdisciplinary research field of ethical reflections on justice, well-being, and climate change. Climate adaptation as it enables and hinders the way to human well-being is uncovered through transformative learning, holistic mobility, and salutogenic health models. Insight is offered to the question of the social and ethical limits that must be made to adapt to climate change, with Kronlid drawing on research from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's assessment reports and on contemporary literature that demonstrate the need for adaptation for the sake of resilience, social transition, and transformation
