Description
Multi-hazard Disaster Risk and Resilience: Deltas and Coastal Systems in the Global South explores climate change adaptation strategies, integrated coastal zone management, and ecosystem services for disaster risk reduction. Diving into these dynamic environments, the book uncovers sustainable practices and resilience-building measures in the face of escalating natural and anthropogenic hazards. The primary focus of this textbook is to offer an overview of various techniques and processes for building systems and communities that are resilient to multiple hazards. Structured into sixteen chapters, this textbook offers foundational concepts and practical strategies essential for understanding critical ecosystems with an in-depth analysis of multi-hazard risks and resilience. Following this, chapters map the impacts of climate change on fragile environments and detail strategies for fostering resilience. Each chapter provides a holistic view of the interplay between natural and anthropogenic factors, guiding readers through a landscape of practical solutions and innovative approaches to enhance sustainability and resilience within these vital ecosystems. Multi-hazard Disaster Risk and Resilience: Deltas and Coastal Systems in the Global South is a foundational guide for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in environmental science, disaster management, and coastal resilience. It is equally beneficial for researchers, practitioners, and professionals in the fields of disaster risk reduction, environmental sustainability, and coastal management. The book offers additional resources such as maps and data sets to support student learning and hands-on engagement.Key Features
- Addresses the impacts of climate change on delta, coastal, and estuarine ecosystems
- Discusses ecosystem services and nature-based solutions for disaster risk reduction
- Explores integrated coastal zone management techniques for building long-term coastal resilience
- Showcases the intergenerational experiences and adaptations to environmental changes in delta regions
- Serves as a valuable resource for upper-level undergraduate students studying disaster management and climate change adaptation, as well as researchers and professionals
- Includes datasets, case studies, and maps for enhanced learning
