Abstract

The accumulation of skills can be a driver of adaptation to climate change. Human capital facilitates occupational change and increases migration opportunities. Tim Dobermann studied how historical investments in education facilitated adaptation in India. He finds that areas that benefited from expansion in schooling saw labour leave agriculture in response to climate change.
