The aim of this book series is to provide an authoritative source of information
on climate change management, with an emphasis on projects, case studies and
practical initiatives – all of which may help to address a problem with a global
scope, but the impacts of which are mostly local. As the world actively seeks ways
to cope with the effects of climate change and global warming, such as floods,
droughts, rising sea levels and landscape changes, there is a vital need for reliable
information and data to support the efforts pursued by local governments, NGOs and
other organizations to address the problems associated with climate change. This
series welcomes monographs and contributed volumes written for an academic and
professional audience, as well as peer-reviewed conference proceedings. Relevant
topics include but are not limited to water conservation, disaster prevention and
management, and agriculture, as well as regional studies and documentation of trends.
Thanks to its interdisciplinary focus, the series aims to concretely contribute to a
better understanding of the state-of-the-art of climate change adaptation, and of the
tools with which it can be implemented on the ground.
