Climate change adaptation strategies : an upstream-downstream perspective / Nadine Salzmann [and four others], editors.
Climate change and the related adverse impacts are among the greatest
challenges facing humankind during the coming decades. Even with a
significant reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, it will
be inevitable for societies to adapt to new climatic conditions and
associated impacts and risks. This book offers insights to first
experiences of developing and implementing adaptation measures, with a
particular focus on mountain environments and the adjacent downstream
areas. It provides a comprehensive ?state-of-the-art? of climate change
adaptation in these areas through the collection and evaluation of
knowledge from several local and regional case studies and by offering
new expertise and insights at the global level. As such, the book is an
important source for scientists, practitioners and decision makers
alike, who are working in the field of climate change adaptation and
towards sustainable development in the sense of the Paris Agreement and
the Agenda 2030.
