Looking Beyond the Horizon: How Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Responses Will Reshape Agriculture in Eastern Europe and Central Asia
ISBN: 9780821397688 / Angielski / Miękka / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Agriculture is one of the most climate-sensitive of all economic sectors.

The risks of climate change to agriculture cannot be eff ectively dealt with--and the opportunities cannot be eff ectively exploited--without a clear plan for aligning agricultural policies with climate change, developing the capabilities of key agricultural...

Towards a Territorial Multi-Disaster Buildings’ Resistance Certification
ISBN: 9788847052222 / Angielski / Miękka / 127 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Disaster risk is increasing, not only in number of events, but also in incurred losses.

The situation will be more and more critical, due to the growth of the amount of the building stock. Thus we need new initiatives to foster upgrading of existing building and enhancement of land planning strategies. Safe Home scheme is aimed at increasing urban safety requirements against hazards under an advanced labeling...

Landslides in Sensitive Clays: From Geosciences to Risk Management
ISBN: 9789400770782 / Angielski / Twarda / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Landslides in sensitive clays represent a major hazard in the northern countries of the world such as Canada, Finland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and in the US state of Alaska.
