While changes in emissions and atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are projected to be slow and smooth, the intensity and impacts of climate change on the environment and society could be abrupt and erratic. This book also explores the possibilities of such changes, and their significance for society.

Presents climate adaptation and flood risk problems and solutions in coastal cities - including an independent investigation of adaptation paths and problems in Rotterdam, New York and Jakarta.

A work on climate change and agriculture in Africa. It includes an assessment of the potential economic impacts of future climate change, and the value of adaptation measures in Africa for different zones, regions, countries and farm types. It also serves as a guide to policy intervention strategies and investment in adaptation measures.

Trends such as the massive growth in availability of air travel and air freight are among those which have led to aviation becoming one of the fastest growing emitters of greenhouse gases. Presenting the science of the environmental issues, this book covers drivers and trends of growth, socio-economics and politics, as well as mitigation options.

Covers the various practices for managing climate risks, deficits between current practices and needs, the changing nature of the risks due to human caused climate change, strategies for adapting to changing risks, and the need to integrate these strategies into development planning and resource management.

Small Island Developing States are often depicted as being among the most vulnerable of all places to the effects of climate change, and they are a cause celebre of many involved in climate science, politics and the media. This book applies a critical approach to climate change science and policy processes in the South Pacific region.

Brings together a wide-and detailed body of information identifying and assessing risk, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in urban centres in low- and middle-income countries. This book is suitable for policy makers, practitioners and academics who face the challenge of addressing climate change vulnerability.

Managing climate variability and change remains a key development and food security issue in Bangladesh. This book examines the implications of climate change on food security in Bangladesh and identifies adaptation measures in the agriculture sector using a comprehensive integrated framework.

This is a companion book to Earthscan¿s 2010 book Climate Change Adaptation and International Development, this time consisting of summarised case studies looking at climate change mitigation specifically in Asia, the region producing the most greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate change vulnerability assessment is a rapidly developing field. This book develops a framework for qualitative vulnerability assessment in 'multiple impact' studies (of climate change and globalization) and applies this framework to several cases of renewable natural resource use.

Trends such as the massive growth in availability of air travel and air freight are among those which have led to aviation becoming one of the fastest growing emitters of greenhouse gases. This book offers a comprehensive review of the topic. Starting with the science of the environmental issues, it moves on to cover drivers and trends of growth.
