Adaptation to climate change and social justice: Challenges for flood and disaster management in Thailand

The central concern of this paper is on issues of social justice in how floods are managed now, and might be in the future, given changes in flood regimes resulting from climate change and adaptation policies. Our main argument is that there are serious limitations in how floods and changes to flood regimes are being handled today and that these could easily be made worse by both inaction and misguided adaptation policies.
