Water Security, Climate Change and Sustainable Development: Water Resources Development and Management

Editat de Asit K. Biswas, Cecilia Tortajada
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 noi 2015
This book pursues a comprehensive approach so as to arrive at a better understanding of the implications of climate change on sustainable development, focusing on the perspective of water. Climate change is one of today’s most pressing global issues and will become increasingly important in the decades to come, as societies will feel its pervasive impacts in many aspects of their lives. Given that the majority of these climate change impacts will be felt through the medium of water, the book explores the interrelationships and inter-linkages between water, climate change and sustainable development.
