Quarto, paperback,176 pp.,colour photographs, maps. With the knowledge from our deserts, Australians can reshape the human story. The desert is teaching us new ways to live, manage slender resources, and cope with lack of water and energy, harsh climate and isolation. These issues will confront most of the world's citizens in the 21st Century, as climate change, population growth and resource scarcity impact on society. The deserts also teach us what it is to be Australian, how to dwell within the rhythms and constraints of a vast continent that is three quarters arid. Australians find it hard to decide about the Outback: is it remote and unassailable â" or at the core of our national identity? Endlessly we debate whether we should develop the inland â" or ignore it, because it's too hard and too costly. Learning how to live well in desert Australia lies at the heart of our destiny as a nation, and at the centre of our response to climate change. It engages the culture, knowledge and skills that will matter most to future Australians as they strive to sustain themselves in world on the edge of sustainability. It is the ultimate test of our resolve to discover a truly Australian way to live on this continent. As the world faces increasing drought in the uncertain climate of the future, it is also a source of knowledge to export to many other places. This book is a wake-up call to Australia and the world. It explores wellsprings of creativity and innovation from the desert that can deliver solutions to the challenges of living in an uncertain and threatening future. It describes many positive lessons for our nation and humanity in a changing and resource-scarce world.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Adaptation is the poor cousin of the climate change challenge - the glamour of international debate is around global mitigation agreements, while the bottom-up activities of adaptation, carried out in community halls and local government offices, are often overlooked. Yet, as international forums fail to deliver reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, the world is realising that effective adaptation will be essential across all sectors to deal with the unavoidable impacts of climate change. The need to understand how to adapt effectively, and to develop appropriate adaptation options and actions, is becoming increasingly urgent. This book reports the current state of knowledge on climate change adaptation, and seeks to expose and debate key issues in adaptation research and practice. It is framed around a number of critical areas of adaptation theory and practice, including: Advances in adaptation thinking,Enabling frameworks and policy for adaptation,Engaging and communicating with practitioners,Key challenges in adaptation and development,Management of natural systems and agriculture under climate change,Ensuring water security under a changing climate,Urban infrastructure and livelihoods, andThe nexus between extremes, disaster management and adaptation. It includes contributions from many of the leading thinkers and practitioners in adaptation today. The book is based on key contributions from the First International Conference on Climate Change Adaptation Climate Adaptation Futures, held on the Gold Coast, Australia, in June 2010. That three-day meeting of over 1000 researchers and practitioners in adaptation from 50 countries was the first of its kind. Readership: The book is essential reading for a wide range of individuals involved in climate change adaptation, including: Researchers,Communication specialists,Decision-makers and policy makers (e.g. government staff, local council staff),On-ground adaptation practitioners (e.g. aid agencies, government workers, NGOs),Postgraduate and graduate students, andConsultants.
