Climate Variability, Climate Change and Social Vulnerability in the Semi-Arid Tropics
ISBN: 9780521019477 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Climate changes can trigger events that lead to mass migration, hunger, and even famine. Rather than focus on the impacts that result from climatic fluctuations, the authors look at the underlying conditions that cause social vulnerability. Once we understand why individuals, households, nations, and regions are vulnerable, and how they have buffered themselves against climatic and environmental shifts, then present and future vulnerability can be redressed. By using case studies from across the globe, the authors explore past experiences with climate variability, and the likely effects...
