    Climate Change Adaptation in Africa : Fostering Resilience and Capacity to Adapt (2017)
    Cham : Springer
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Climate change ; Africa Politics and government ; Development economics ; Agricultural economics ; Environment
    Description / Table of Contents: This collection showcases experiences from research and field projects in climate change adaptation on the African continent. It includes a set of papers presented at a symposium held in Addis Abeba in February 2016, which brought together international experts to discuss “fostering African resilience and capacity to adapt.” The papers introduce a wide range of methodological approaches and practical case studies to show how climate change adaptation can be implemented in regions and countries across the continent. Responding to the need for more cross-sectoral interaction among the various stakeholders working in the field of climate change adaptation, the book fosters the exchange of information on best practices across the African continent

    Climate Change Adaptation in Pacific Countries : Fostering Resilience and Improving the Quality of Life (2017)
    Cham : Springer
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Climate change ; Environmental policy ; Environmental economics ; Environment
    Description / Table of Contents: This book showcases vital lessons learned from research, field projects and best practice examples with regard to climate change adaptation in countries throughout the Pacific region, a part of the planet that is particularly vulnerable to and affected by climate change. The book's primary goals are to document the wealth of experiences in the region available today, to encourage cross-sector interactions among the various stakeholders in the region, and to help transfer results to other countries and regions. Accordingly, it gathers a set of papers presented at a symposium on climate change adaptation held in Fiji in July 2016, focusing on "Fostering Resilience and Improving the Quality of Life". In these contributions, local and international experts present a variety of initiatives showing how Pacific countries are coping with the many problems associated with climate change, including initiatives in education and awareness work taking place across the region, operational aspects and their implications for policy-making, and challenges in urban and rural areas
