N2 - Our emerging environmental predicament is one in which we cannot protect all the things that we value in the way that we would like to. Instead, we may have to accept courses of action (such as megaprojects and dam construction) that we would not ordinarily consider in order to adapt and compensate for changes in the cryosphere. One way of thinking about this predicament is to consider it as a case of tragic dilemma. This chapter will try to make sense of this way of looking at matters and will go on to outline how a concept of ‘the integrity of place’ can help us to continue to value landscapes even under the impact of loss.
