Climate Change and the Ross River Virus Climate change may be a politically contentious issue‚ but the scientific community has reached a consensus: it is real and the effects could be disastrous (Hughes‚ 2003). Within the next century‚ there will be changes in rainfall patterns‚ rising sea-levels and significant temperature increases‚ as well as the impact these conditions will have on flora‚ fauna and disease transmission (Hughes‚ 2003). Of particular concern to Australia is how these changes

of institutions for adaptation to climate change. Values are the wide concepts which are embedded in the social structures. These values are based on the core concept of the desirable preferences and the moral obligations within every social structure. On the other hand institutions play a vital role as they link together different social structures and their functions. Through these linkages these social networks become responsible for adaptation to climate change. Perceptions of people towards nature
