It has been recognized that climate change is the greatest challenge faced by humanity today. It already has far reaching consequence to natural ecosystems (IPCC, 2007, Berry, 2007) and human systems (IISD, 2006). However, proper management and sustainable use of natural resources can allow for both ecosystem and people to adapt to climate change. Climate change impacts both ecosystem and human well-bei ng. At the same time, ecosyst em well-being affects human well-being. It also has a strong effect on the impacts of climate change. Human well-bei ng also impacts ecosystem. On the other hand, the relations hip may also be causal human activities are the cause of b oth ecosystem degradation and climate change. Similarly, climate change causes ecosystem degradation, and ecosystem degradation cont ributes to climate change. (Adopted from Schipper et. al., 2006)
