This book provides a comprehensive understanding of slow-onset hazards, combining scientific analysis, policy perspectives, and practical adaptive strategies.
With contributions from researchers across India, South Africa, Germany, the United States, and Serbia, this book offers a holistic perspective on the management of slow-onset hazards. It presents insights into how droughts, desertification, and rising sea levels unfold, their socio-economic impacts, and the measures needed to address them. Through carefully selected international case studies, this book highlights both challenges and solutions, offering lessons that can be applied across diverse contexts. Its interdisciplinary approach, which bridges science, policy, and practice, ensures that students, researchers, policymakers, and environmental advocates gain not only knowledge but also actionable strategies to anticipate, adapt to, and mitigate long-term environmental threats.
This book is intended for undergraduates and postgraduate researchers, as well as those working in geography, geology, sociology, environmental science, public policy, and disaster management. It will also appeal to trainees of administrative jobs, planners, and practitioners working on addressing environmental challenges and policy implementation.
