Foreword

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges mankind currently faces,

being a matter of great concern to people living in both industrialized and devel-

oping countries. Due to its scope and its implications to the economy of countries,

to properties, and to human health and well-being, it is essential to make sure that

we are able to adapt to climate change.

But even though the need for adaptation is a perceived one and in many parts of

the world, urgent action in the field of climate change adaptation is needed, there is

a paucity of scientific publications which tackle the subject matter of climate

change adaptation in a holistic way.

In an attempt to address this problem and at the same time provide a contribution

to foster a better understanding of the various aspects of climate change, the

International Climate Change Information Programme (ICCIP)—in cooperation

with Springer—have prepared this landmark multivolume reference work. This

handbook is aimed at fostering a broader understanding of what climate change is,

what it means to people, and how its impacts on the environment and ecosystems

can be reduced via climate change adaptation strategies.

Consistent with its editorial aims, this Handbook is structured along four parts:

Part I. Climate Change Impacts and Management (handling climatic, physical,

human, and biodiversity impacts on land and water ecosystems)

Part II. Policy and Climate Change (handling policy measures, planning proce-

dures, and concrete action to cater for adaptation efforts)

Part III. Climate Change Adaptation, Agriculture, and Water Security (handling

concrete examples of adaptation efforts in the field of agriculture and water

capture, storage, and use)

Part IV. Climate Change Adaptation Technologies (presentation of examples of

technologies which allow adaptation to be pursued and implemented in the short

and medium term)

A set of cross-cutting issues have been included across all parts, such as the

socioeconomics of climate change, resilience, trade, growth, development, justice,

poverty, health, populations, security, international politics, the UN process,

democracy, education, as well as information and communication. Although the

v

Handbook is on the one hand grounded in the best science and meets the highest

scientific standards, it aims on the other hand to be inclusive methodologically and

be practice based.

Specialists from across the world have provided a wide range of contributions

addressing many of the variables associated with climate change adaptation with

examples, case studies, and projects from all geographic regions. Their efforts are

commendable since their willingness to document and disseminate their ideas,

approaches, and projects via this Handbook makes it a very rich publication.

I want to thank all the authors who contributed to this Handbook for their time

and effort. It is hoped that this Handbook may not only be used as a tool toward the

greater understanding of different variables associated with climate change

adaptation.

All in all, we have managed to produce a groundbreaking publication, which will

hopefully provide practical assistance and support to climate change adaptation

initiatives across the world. We also hope that it may serve as inspiration and

guidance to many others, helping to tackle a problem which is global in its scope

but often local in its impacts.
