Описание: In demonstrating the moral imperative to act on climate change, the book`s ethical analysis is not an end in itself, but a means to clarifying policy. Drawing on the philosophy of science, the book examines our obligations to future generations and how we ought to make decisions when there is catastrophic risk but its probability is unknown.

Описание: In demonstrating the moral imperative to act on climate change, the book`s ethical analysis is not an end in itself, but a means to clarifying policy. Drawing on the philosophy of science, the book examines our obligations to future generations and how we ought to make decisions when there is catastrophic risk but its probability is unknown.
Uncertainty in Policy Making explores how uncertainty is interpreted and used by policy makers, experts and politicians. It argues that conventional notions of rational, evidence-based policy making - hailed by governments and organisations across the world as the only way to make good policy - is an impossible aim in highly complex and uncertain environments; the blind pursuit of such a 'rational' goal is in fact irrational in a world of competing values and interests.
The book centres around two high-profile and important case studies: the Iraq war and climate change policy in the US, UK and Australia. Based on three years' research, including interviews with experts such as Hans Blix, Paul Pillar, and Brian Jones, these two case studies show that the treatment of uncertainty issues in specialist advice is largely determined by how well the advice fits with or contradicts the policy goals and orientation of the policy elite. Instead of allowing the debates to be side-tracked by arguments over whose science or expert advice is 'more right', we must accept that uncertainty in complex issues is unavoidable and recognise the values and interests that lie at the heart of the issues. The book offers a 'hedging' approach which will enable policy makers to manage rather than eliminate uncertainty.
Описание: This book will draw on case studies of three coastal cities situated within very different governance regimes: Rotterdam, Boston and Singapore. It examines how infrastructure managers and other stakeholders are grappling with complex and uncertain climate risks.
Описание: This is the first book to theorise geoengineering in terms of complex adaptive systems theory and to argue for the theoretical imperative of adaptive management as the default methodology for an effective low risk means of confronting the inescapable uncertainty and surprise that characterise potential climate futures.
Описание: This book ranks countries with respect to their achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and their vulnerability to climate change. The book also considers the interconnection between climate change, world hunger, human trafficking, modern slavery, and the coronavirus.

Описание: The start of the new millennium will be remembered for deadly climate-related disasters - the great floods in Thailand in 2011, Super Storm Sandy in the United States in 2012, and Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013, to name a few. In 2014, 17.5 million people were displaced by climate-related disasters, ten times more than the 1.7 million displaced by geophysical hazards.

Описание: Global climate change poses an unprecedented challenge for governments across the world. Small wonder that many experts question whether democracies have the ability to cope with the causes and long-term consequences of a changing climate.

Описание:
Future climatic and agro-ecological changes in Africa are uncertain and associated with high degrees of spatial and temporal variability and this change is differently simulated within divergent climate-crop models and in controlled crop breeding stations. Furthermore, uncertainty emerges in local contexts, not just in response to climatic systems, but to social, economic, and political systems, and often with implications for the appropriateness and adoption of technologies or the success of alternative cropping systems.
This book examines the challenges of adaptation in smallholder farming in Africa, analysing the social, economic, political and climatic uncertainties that impact on agriculture in the region and the range of solutions proposed. Drawing on case studies of genetically modified crops, conservation agriculture, and other 'climate smart' solutions in eastern and southern Africa, the book identifies how uncertainties are framed 'from above' as well experienced 'from below', by farmers themselves. It provides a compelling insight into why ideas about adaptation emerge, from whom, and with what implications.
This book offers a unique perspective and will be highly relevant to students of climate change adaptation, food security and poverty alleviation, as well as policy-makers and field practitioners in international development and agronomy.

Описание: This book attempts to identify the adverse consequences of climate change (CC) on agriculture and food production. It explores certain methods used to quantify river-basin-wide vulnerability to CC, and suggests adaptation mechanisms and their costs. These methodologies are relevant to all river basins, especially the Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery.
