The long arm of climate change: societal teleconnections and the future of climate change impacts studies	2015-01-28		.txt	text/plain	5850	240	37	In the climate change context, such societal teleconnections add a layer of risk that is currently neither fully appreciated in most impacts or vulnerability assessments nor in on-the-ground adaptation planning. This paper introduces a simple but systematic way to conceptualize societal teleconnections and then highlights and explores eight unique but interrelated types of societal teleconnections with selected examples: (1) trade and economic exchange, (2) insurance and reinsurance, (3) energy systems, (4) food systems; (5) human health, (6) population migration, (7) communication, and (8) strategic alliances and military interactions. This example is now widely cited by the private sector and has spurred several Fortune 500 firms to begin to assess supply chain vulnerabilities-one possible societal teleconnection-through the lens of climate change (Gledhill et al. In summary, societal teleconnections are important considerations for locally-based climate change vulnerability assessments and adaptation planning in the public and private sector.	./cache/cord-005049-itkj5o5o.txt	./txt/cord-005049-itkj5o5o.txt
