Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

405 pp., maps, diagrams, bibliography, index. Rapid economic growth coupled with current and projected climate risks are challenging livelihoods and ecosystems in the Mekong region. In some locations unsustainable development has created or deepened vulnerabilities to climate change as well as global, regional, and transborder socioeconomic processes. More accessible and appropriate information is urgently needed on ways to reduce the negative aspects of development and adapt to the impacts of climate change in this region. In this book, the Sustainable Mekong Research Network (SUMERNET) brings together multi-country studies, each of which included significant engagement with boundary partners, to analyze the impacts of, and ways to adapt to, climate risks and unsustainable growth in a highly interdependent region. This book improves our understanding of the linkages between drivers, opportunities, and constraints on the sustainability of the Mekong region’s ecosystems--at the transborder, sub-national, and local levels.
