Reviews

'As brought out clearly by the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the IPCC and the recently completed Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation, the impacts of climate change will require adaptation as a response to the challenge of climate change. This book highlights the importance of community based adaptation measures provides a wealth of knowledge, such that society across the globe can deal with the impacts of climate change to the extent possible through appropriate adaptation measures rooted in the capacity and strengths of local communities.' – Dr Rajendra K Pachauri, Chair of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
