Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides an introduction to the critical role of ecosystem-based disaster risk resilience (Eco-DRR) for building community resilience to multiple environmental risks such as rising heat, water stress, and pollution. Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) is an Eco-DRR tool that is an under-explored paradigm and can respond as one common strategy to targets set by the Sustainable Development Goals (UNDP), Climate Agreements (UNEP), the Sendai Framework (UNISDR), and the New Urban Agenda (UNCHS).Highlighted here in a systematic way is the importance of blue-green infrastructures in resilience building. The purpose is to introduce readers to the challenging context of development and opportunity creation for Eco-DRR. The roles of policy, scientific research, and implementation are presented cohesively. An attractive proposition of the book is a collection of case studies from different parts of the world where integration of BGI is experimented with atvarious levels of success. It envisages that shared tacit experiences from the realm of practice will further strengthen explicit knowledge.The focus in this book is on need and context building, policy and science (investigation, analysis, and design), case studies, and a road map for the future in four successive parts. Each part is self-sufficient yet linked to its predecessor, successor, or both, as the case may be.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This contributed volume offers a comprehensive exploration of ecosystem-based approach for resilience building in the ecosystems of the Himalayan landscape in the context of climate change and disaster risk reduction.The Himalayan region is highly susceptible to the adverse impacts of climate change, including melting glaciers, unpredictable weather patterns, and increased natural disasters, which pose a significant threat to both the environment and the communities residing in these sensitive landscapes. In this book, we delve into the critical topics of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and its importance in addressing these climate-related challenges. By bridging the gap between climate change mitigation and disaster risk reduction, this book provides innovative strategies, case studies, and solutions that empower policymakers, researchers, environmentalists, and practitioners in the region. It offers a roadmap for sustainable, ecosystem-focused approaches to tackle the increasing risks and vulnerabilities faced by the Himalayan communities.The book is an interesting read for researchers and practitioners committed to mitigating the effects of climate change, conserving biodiversity, and reducing disaster risks in the Himalayan region. This book is going to serve as indispensable resource for professionals and enthusiasts alike who are dedicated to safeguarding the unique and important Himalayan ecosystems, and the well-being of the communities residing in this magnificent landscape.…
