Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Agriculture is one of the most climate-sensitive of all economic sectors. In many countries, such as the four examined in Looking Beyond the Horizon, the risks of climate change are an immediate and fundamental problem because the majority of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture for its livelihood. The risks of climate change to agriculture cannot be effectively dealt with-hand the opportunities cannot be effectively exploited-without a clear plan for aligning agricultural policies with climate change, developing the capabilities of key agricultural institutions, and investing in infrastructure, support services, and on-farm improvements. Developing such a plan ideally involves a combination of high-quality quantitative analysis; consultation with key stakeholders, particularly farmers and local agricultural experts; and investments in both human and physical capital. The diverse experiences of Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, and Uzbekistan, highlighted in this book, show that it is possible to develop a plan to meet these objectives-one that is comprehensive and empirically driven as well as consultative and quick to develop. The approach of this volume is predicated on strong country ownership and participation, and is defined by its emphasis on 'win-win' or 'no regrets' solutions to the multiple challenges posed by climate change for the farmers of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The solutions are measures that increase resilience to future climate change, boost current productivity despite the greater climate variability already occurring, and limit greenhouse gas emissions-also known as 'climate-smart agriculture'. Looking Beyond the Horizon draws on the experiences of applying this approach to these four nations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia with the goal of helping each country mainstream climate change adaptation into its agricultural policies, programmes, and investments. The book also highlights the projected impacts of climate change on agriculture in these countries through forecast variations in temperature and rainfall patterns, which are crucial to farming, and offers a map for navigating the risks and realising the opportunities. Finally, a detailed explanation of the approach, as well as lessons learned from its implementation, is provided for those who would like to implement similar programmes in other countries of Europe, Central Asia, or anywhere else in the world.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book focuses on managing risks and building resilience to climate change, showcasing experiences from research, field projects and best practices to foster climate change adaptation in Eastern Europe that can be implemented elsewhere.Climate change affects countries in Eastern Europe, i.e. the Western Balkans and Southeast Europe in a variety of ways. Apart from severe floods, there are reports of decreasing water reserves in the southern regions, and of gradual changes in biodiversity and agricultural production. In the South Caucasus area, for instance, climate change models project a decline in precipitation and suggest that it will continue to become drier this century.Many Eastern European countries, especially the non-EU ones, have weak national climate policies, and transboundary collaborations, as well as limited public engagement in matters related to climate change. As a result, climate change poses a serious threat to their economic stability and development and to the sustainable development of the region.The above state of affairs illustrates the need for a better understanding of how climate change influences Eastern Europe, and for the identification of processes, methods and tools that may help the countries and the communities in the region to adapt. There is also a perceived need to showcase successful examples of how to cope with the social, economic and political problems posed by floods/droughts in the region, especially ways of increasing the resilience of agriculture systems and of communities.Addressing this need, the book presents papers written by scholars, social practitioners and members of government agencies involved in research and/or climate change projects in Eastern Europe.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - India is not only gifted with cultural diversity, geographical diversity, social diversity and climatic diversity but also adorned with biodiversity which broadly include plant biodiversity. Forests play a key role in maintaining a wide range of delicate relationships with nature and its eco-systems. Yerramalais forest is home to many endemic, endangered and threatened species, as well as to the indigenous people, who are dependent on its biological resources. Most of the world's forests especially the temperate and boreal forests, are already being utilized by human societies. Effect of anthropogenic activities not only threatens the biodiversity, but also affects the socio-economic condition of the indigenous people of the forest. Various activities like habitat loss, deforestation, clear felling and overexploitation amplify the impact of climate change on biodiversity. In recent years, attention has focused on the possible impact of atmospheric and climatic changes on plants and vegetation. Much uncertainty still exists as to the possible effects of such change on ecosystems and soils in the Yerramalais forest, which could have severe biological and economic consequences.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - .The result of the ordered legit regression model shows that the determinants of the household involvement in adaptive measures exhibit eight variables. These are sex, education level and distance to animal water source service (p0.10); family size and total income from farm and non-farm activities(0.010.05), and distance to credit and primary education services (p0.01). Women are highly marginalized social segments and highly vulnerable to climate change. Thus, policy makers, other governmental and nongovernmental organizations should give attention for women while addressing adaptation strategies to mitigate detrimental impacts of climate change. Critique awareness on climate change adaptive measures as human capacity building should be considered. Programs/strategies which focus on food security and employment generating scheme should be encouraged to target households with no and low adaptation level for their interests of non-farm activities along with the regular farm activity. Adaptive measures are important to adapt more to climate change. Further research is required in order to identify basic adaptive measures and their trend analysis in livestock production too.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The book described and appraised farmer-led adaptation strategies to climate change in eastern Uttar Pradesh, India. Farmers of eastern Uttar Pradesh perceived the changing climatic scenario and its impact on crop farming as well as livestock rearing. Total 9 and 15 farmers-led adaptation strategies were documented for crop-farming and livestock-rearing, respectively. In all overall, 'crop diversification' and 'use of shed for cattle and buffaloes' were the most preferred adaptation strategies in crop farming and livestock rearing, respectively. Farmer-led adaptation strategies in crop farming and livestock rearing were appraised in terms of their effectiveness to cope up with the changing climatic scenario. In crop-farming, 'preparation of bunds to control water flow' was most effective adaptation strategy. In livestock-rearing, the most effective adaptation strategies were 'proper sanitation practices for animals', 'regular vaccination' and 'use of jute cloth to cover animals'.…
