Climate Risk and Resilience in China
Editat de Rebecca Nadin, Sarah Opitz-Stapleton, Xu Yinlongen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 aug 2015
This book provides a detailed study of how China has been working to understand and respond to climatic risk, such as droughts and desertification in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia to deadly typhoons in the mega-cities of the Pearl River Delta. Using research and data from a wide range of Chinese sources and the Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC) project, a research-to-policy project, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into how China is developing policies and approaches to manage the risks and opportunities presented by climate change.
This book will be of interest to those studying global and Chinese climate change policy, regional food, water and climate risk, and to policy advisors.

Recenzii
"Climate Risk and Resilience in Chinaoverviews adaptation planning processes and mainstreaming practices which help researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders better understand climate change risks and adaptation plans in China". –Professor Li Yue, Climate Change Division, Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences
"Climate Risk and Resilience in China manages to clearly communicate the complex Chinese context whilst showing how human development influences vulnerability, makes it a significant contribution to a fast-developing field of research. Its nuanced analysis provides the reader with much-needed insights into climate change adaptation in this important country."-Tor Håkon Jackson Inderberg, PhD, Senior Research Fellow and European Programme Director, The Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Oslo, Norway, and Editor-in-Chief for Climate Change Adaptation and Development: Changing Paradigms and Practices.
"Climate Risk and Resilience in China identifies and addresses many urgent issues in China's climate change adaptation policies at the provincial level. Based on comprehensive case studies, this book demonstrates to the readers that climate change, social-economic development and disaster risk reduction must be incorporated into policy planning processes and even more importantly, although more difficult, mainstreamed into practice." – Professor Ye Qian, Executive Director Integrated Risk Governance Project/Future Earth Program, Beijing Normal University

Descriere
This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the ways a country with such varying topography, a large population and inconsistent socio-economic development is developing approaches to tackle and respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by a changing climate. Using research and data from the Adapting to Climate Change in China (ACCC) project, the first and largest research-to-policy project of its kind ever attempted in China, Chinese and international scientists have come together to produce cutting-edge regional models, and Chinese policy makers assess future impacts of and vulnerability to climate change. The book also uses interviews with those individuals who have to bear the brunt of climate change to give a more human voice to what has become a political and scientific issue.
