Summary
The works of Charles Dickens have been, it goes without saying, much filmed, beginning in 1897 with The Death of Nancy Sykes and followed by nearly one hundred short versions before 1920. There were about fifty in the 1980s alone. It is, therefore, impossible to provide, here or, perhaps, anywhere, a genuinely complete Dickens filmography. We can only lay claim to having listed the adaptations our respondents commented on, supplemented by a number of “major” versions they omitted. We have also included, if only as an indication of Dickens's ubiquity, a small fraction of the earliest film versions and a handful of non-English-language versions.
We have arranged the adaptations by novel, in chronological order by the date of initial publication. Especially for early films, gaps often exist, but we have listed as much information as was available. For each novel, the first adaptation for which we have complete information provides the names of the characters after the actors who played them. For subsequent listings, the character names are omitted but the same order is followed, unless otherwise noted. When interesting casting was used for roles not otherwise listed in our credits, we have included those actors and their characters' names as well. In the case of modernizations, the character names have sometimes been so changed as to obscure their correspondence to the original, and in this case we have listed the most important or interesting actors and their character names.

Summary
Introduction
Social and institutional adaptation to climate change impacts must take account of present coping ability and how stakeholders and institutions are likely to evolve over the next few decades. Motivating effective adaptation requires participation; sustainability science in general, and integrated assessments in particular, must blend the formalisms of models with knowledge of institutional change. The ULYSSES project pioneered methods of public participation in integrated environmental assessment, with a focus on climate change and urban greenhouse gas emissions. Citizen Integrated Assessment (IA) Focus Groups were developed and tested in seven cities in Europe. Furthermore, a stakeholder dialogue was conducted with sub-sets of experts, concerning venture capital investment and climate policy.
This chapter relates the experiences of the Social and Institutional Responses to Climatic Change and Climatic Hazards (SIRCH) project to these earlier experiences. The SIRCH project benefited from the examples set by the ULYSSES team. The following section summarizes our stakeholder analysis, using drought management in the Thames region as an example. An outline of scenarios of future drought risk and the analytical methods being developed illustrates the relevance of the research discussed in the first two parts of the present volume to our analyses.
The SIRCH project evaluated capacity to adapt to climate change, and the adaptive processes likely to be employed by stakeholders. The project includes case studies of climatic hazards in southern England (drought and flood), The Netherlands (flood), and southern Spain (drought).
