This book aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical implementation by highlighting the role of scientific research, technological innovation, indigenous knowledge, geospatial technologies, and policy frameworks in supporting climate resilience and sustainable development. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, floods, droughts, sea-level rise, and other climate-related hazards are affecting people, ecosystems, and economies worldwide. These challenges threaten food security, water resources, public health, livelihoods, and sustainable development. At the same time, governments, researchers, communities, and industries are developing innovative solutions and practical strategies to reduce climate risks and build a more resilient future.
The primary objective of this edited book is to provide a comprehensive overview of innovative approaches and best practices for addressing climate change from a global perspective.
The chapters in this book are organized into five thematic parts. Part 1 introduces the contexts and emerging challenges of climate change by examining global strategies, policy frameworks, and key environmental risks. Part 2 focuses on practical approaches to reducing climate impacts, including sustainable agricultural practices, technological innovations, and market-based mechanisms. Part 3 explores how communities, farming systems, and urban areas respond to climate stress, with particular attention to agriculture, disaster risk management, and livelihood resilience. Part 4 presents the human side of climate change, addressing public health, food and nutrition security, water and sanitation, and policy responses. Finally, Part 5 examines the growing role of geospatial tools, climate data, machine learning, and advanced analytical methods in understanding climate patterns and supporting informed decision-making.
This edited book will be a valuable resource for researchers, students, policymakers, development practitioners, and professionals interested in climate change and sustainable development. By bringing together scientific research, innovative technologies, and practical experiences from different regions and disciplines, the book contributes to the growing global effort to build climate resilience and create a more sustainable future.
