Climate Change (eBook, ePUB)

Alternate Governance Policy for South Asia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Climate Change: Alternate Governance Policy for South Asia provides an assessment of climate change issues through the socioeconomic lens of one of the world's poorest, most populous regions. Although climate change is a global issue, localized solutions have become increasingly necessary to address political, economic and cultural factors in underdeveloped regions. Identifying successes, gaps and shortcomings in existing policies and regional laws relating to climate change, this book evaluates the sustainability of current practices, examining mitigation strategies and suggesting a comprehensive, innovative model of sustainable policies and governance strategy specific to the region.

While the book approaches climate change, policy and mitigation from a regionally-focused standpoint, it has an underlying philosophy of Think Global, Act Local, making it universally applicable to anyone interested in climate change and its effects.

• Approaches climate change, policy and mitigation from a regionally focused standpoint
• Includes mitigation approaches and solutions directly applicable to the sociocultural environment of South Asia
• Provides a research-based compilation of relevant science, policy and social issues that are set alongside a critical assessment of data and practical examples
• Authored by experts with extensive experience in geoscience and human development throughout South Asia
