Climate Change and Vulnerability (repost)

Neil Leary, Cecelia Conde, Anthony Nyong and Juan Pulhin "Climate Change and Vulnerability"
Published by Earthscan Publications Ltd. | Publication date : December 2007 | ISBN : 1844074692 | PDF | 447 pages | English | 7.2 MB

Climate Change and Vulnerability discusses who is vulnerable to climate change, the nature of their vulnerability and the causes of their vulnerability for parts of the world that have been poorly researched until now. The book also provides researchers with new examples of applications of vulnerability assessment methods, an approach that is of growing interest in the climate change area but for which there are relatively few applications in the literature.

Many parts of the developing world are subject to variable and extreme climate, the impacts of which impede development and point to the need to improve the understanding and management of climate risks. These needs are being amplified by human-caused climate change.
