The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Risk Reduction Including Climate Change Adaptation
商品資訊
商品簡介
The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Risk Reduction Including Climate Change Adaptation aims to provide an overview and critique of the current state of knowledge, policy, and practice, encouraging engagement and reflection on bringing the two sectors together. This long-awaited and welcomed volume makes a compelling case that a common research agenda and a series of practical policy and policy recommendations can and should be put in place.
Over 40 contributions explore DRR including CCA in five sections. The first section presents and interrogates much of the typical vocabulary seen in DRR including CCA, not only pointing out the useful and not-so-useful dimensions, but also providing alternatives and positive examples. The second section explains how to move forward creating and supporting positive cross-overs and connections, while the third one explores some aspects of multi-dimensional approaches to knowing and understanding. The fourth section argues for a balanced approach to governance, taking both governmental and non-governmental governance, as well as different scales of governance into consideration. The final section of the Handbook emphasises DRR including CCA as an investment, rather than a cost, and connects its further implementation with livelihoods of people around the world.
This Handbook highlights the connections amongst the processes of dealing with disasters and dealing with climate change, demonstrating how little climate change brings which is new and emphasising the strengths of placing climate change within wider contexts in order to draw on all our strengths while overcoming limitations with specialties. It will prove to be a valuable guide for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, academics, policy makers and practitioners with an interest in disaster risk reduction and climate change.
