Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation
Article Type: Feature From: International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management, Volume 5, Issue 2
The International Climate Change Information Programme (ICCIP) – in cooperation is preparing a landmark, multi-volume reference work titled the Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation. The Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation will provide a concrete contribution towards addressing the perceived need for high-quality, interdisciplinary papers, which can be used not only as a valuable information source but also as tools to support teaching and research and, as an added value, help to assist in decision-making.
The Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation focuses in one of the key aspects of climate change: adaptation and how to handle its impacts on physical, biotic and human systems, including social and normative scientific concerns, coupled with the tools, approaches and methods aimed at the management of these effects and impacts.
Although the Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation is on the one hand grounded in the best science and meets the highest scientific standards, it aims on the other hand as far as possible to be inclusive methodologically, and be practice-based. It will also be fully international in its coverage and authorship, as befits a topic of such importance to humankind. The Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation is structured around four volumes:
- •
Volume 1 – Climate Change Impacts and Management.
- •
Volume 2 – Policy and Climate Change.
- •
Volume 3 – Climate Change Adaptation, Agriculture and Water Security.
- •
Volume 4 – Climate Change Adaptation Technologies.
A set of cross-cutting issues will be included, such as the socio-economics of climate change, resilience, economics, trade, growth, development, justice, poverty, health, populations, security, international politics, the UN process, democracy, education, information and communication. The millenium development goals also represent a major element to be considered. Further details can be at ICCIP: www.iccip.net
