Описание: This book explores how the world community will respond to the unfolding humanitarian crisis caused by climate change. It recognises climate change as the greatest threat to human development in the 21st century, bringing with it: flooding, drought, extreme temperatures, health crises, threats to human security and severe harm to economic development.The Climate Change Crisis addresses climate change and its impact as a major threat for countries around the world. Through a collection of interviews with leading environmentalists and exploration into new innovations that can offer hope and protection for billions of people, this book presents an interdisciplinary approach towards understanding the paramount health and development challenges of climate change.This timely and informative book cuts across several disciplines, including human rights, public policy, international relations, national refugee policy, and migration studies.

Описание: Gentrification is arguably the most dynamic area of conflict in current urban development policy – it is the process by which poorer populations are displaced by more affluent groups. Although gentrification is well-documented, German and international research largely focuses on improvements in the built environment and social composition of neighbourhoods. The consequences for those who are displaced often remain overlooked. Where do they move? What does it mean to be forced to leave a familiar residential area? What kinds of resistance strategies are developed? How does anti-gentrification work? With a focus on Berlin – the German 'capital of gentrification' – the chapters in this volume use innovative methods to explore these pressing questions.

Описание: Climate change refers to a substantial change in temperature, precipitation, or wind lasting for a long period of time, usually several years. The consequences of climate change are an increase in global air and ocean temperature on average, widespread melting of snow and rising global average sea level. The Bay of Bengals afunnel shape combined with its connection with the rivers of Bangladesh creates a constant hazardous situation for five coastal areas of the country. The high frequency of natural disasters also hinders the countrys ability to achieve its desired rates of economic growth. Climate Change issues have traditionally broken into two basic categories: climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation. Climate change mitigation includes human interventions to reduce drivers of climate systems and climate change adaptation includes managing natural and human systems in response to variations in the climate and their effects. Efforts to mitigate climate change have focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) into the atmosphere which is a complex journey towards sustainabledevelopment. Mitigation strategies include adopting renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, biofuels, and the sustainable use of land and forests. This book argues green entrepreneurship is one of the most effective strategies for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. This book discusses the linkages between climate change mitigation and green entrepreneurship, describing the challenges and possibilities of adopting green entrepreneurship in Bangladesh.

Описание: Over the past few decades, agriculture and related sectors in West Africa have been challenged by climate change, which has become one of the most important developmental issues in the region. Whereas negative environmental and socio-economic impacts have been extensively documented in West Africa, future climate projections suggest that the situation will only get worse if relevant actions are not taken. Indeed, most of the West African countries remain characterized by a limited use of production technologies and information, and local economies heavily rely on a rain-fed agriculture.Despite the increasing number of studies focusing on climate change related issues, the methodological (i.e., conceptual and analytical) approaches seem to become stagnant with mixed practical results in terms of mitigation and adaptation outcomes. Against this backdrop, the forthcoming book is aimed at showcasing innovative and promising approaches that can be used to advance our current knowledge of climate change trends, impacts, vulnerability, resilience and adaptation in West Africa.With the focus on agriculture and environment, the book compiles the latest developments in climate change research in West Africa by providing an overview of recent approaches used to better understand the vulnerability, resilience and adaptation to climate change. It also considers the methods and frameworks for assessing the sustainability of climate change adaptation.
