If necessary and timely action is not taken, the average temperature of the earth’s surface is expected to increase by 1.8 to 4 degrees by the year 2100. The activities over the last century and a half of industrialization have increased the content of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide—the so-called greenhouse gases—in the atmosphere. This is altering the climate in a manner that could lead to extinction of numerous plant and animal species.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe average sea level rise is expected to be 18 to 59 cm by the year 2100. It could overflow the heavily populated coastlines of countries like India and Bangladesh, cause the disappearance of some nations entirely such as the island state of the Maldives, foul freshwater supplies for billions of people, and spur mass migrations. The intensity of Indian summer monsoon may increase. There will be changes in frequency and\/or magnitude of extreme temperature and precipitation events bringing mounting difficulties and threatening human beings. Climate change will also impact the huge coastline and Himalayan glaciers. In addition, climate change will result in a drop in agricultural yields, and expansion of a range of diseases such as malaria. \n\u003cbr\u003eIn a world that is crowded and under stress, millions of people depend on weather patterns such as monsoon rains, to continue as they have in the past. Hence, even minimum changes could become difficult and disruptive. The ‘enhanced greenhouse effect’ is altering the complex web of systems that allow life to thrive on earth such as cloud cover, rainfall, wind patterns, ocean currents, duration of the seasons and the distribution of plant and animal species, at an unprecedented speed. \n\u003cbr\u003eIt is imperative for the world to act now, as what is done today would determine both the climate of tomorrow and the choices that would shape the future of the people. The world has to act together as climate change is the crisis of the commons. It cannot be solved without countries cooperating on a global scale to improve energy efficiencies, and to develop and deploy clean technologies. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe book Climate Change: Meeting the Challenge is an attempt to understand the complexity of the phenomenon called climate change. It is an in-depth study on the actions taken so far by the international community in meeting this great challenge.

Realising the importance of environment, and considering the need to curb the unsustainable practices that are polluting the environment, several international organizations including the United Nations have emphasised to develop a common outlook and form common principles to address the problems relating to environment such as global warming, depletion of ozone layer and damaging of natural eco-systems, etc.\n\u003cbr\u003eAny action plan for the protection of environment necessitates the knowledge of various terms relating to environment and the exact connotations thereof. Moreover, environment is such a vast phenomenon that its different aspects cannot be fully understood until we have grasped its terminology.

However, their adverse effects can be considerably reduced if the people are prepared and have adopted the relevant mitigation measures. Earthquakes do not kill by themselves. It is our lack of knowledge about the level of risk that we face and how to make our dwellings earthquake-resistant, that does. It is agonizing to see that villages and buildings, rebuilt after past earthquakes, are flattened once again by the next ones. This happens only because the new structures that are put up in place of the collapsed ones are as vulnerable as the old. Basic precautionary measures, which can reduce the extent of damage, are not taken. The help rendered by the Govt. and Non-Govt. Organisations (NGOs) in this regard is not sufficient. The ordinary people of India have to fend for themselves. It is therefore imperative that they learn about disaster management and take mitigation measures on their own to reduce damage and losses.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe aim of this book is to increase the awareness of the people about earthquakes, the risks involved and what can be done to mitigate the effects of such a disaster.

The enhanced pace of development activities, rapid urbanization, high degree of mechanization and steep rise in energy consumption have resulted in stress on natural resources and quality of life, thereby directly or indirectly affecting the sustainability of the environment.

The Earth’s climate has changed throughout the Earth’s history—from glacial periods when ice covered significant portions of the Earth—to interglacial periods when ice either retreated to poles or melted entirely. Since the advent of ‘Industrial Revolution’, man-made activities have added significant quantities of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels on a massive scale is releasing huge amount of carbon dioxide which is one of the major gases causing global warming; other gases include methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emphasizes that the warming of the climate system is unequivocal and that it is happening because of unsustainable human activities. The report also states that average temperature of earth will rise around 3°C in this century if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at current pace. This will have adverse impacts on agricultural production, food security and availability of fresh water. The climate changes anticipated due to global warming will lead to intensification of tropical cyclones, irregular rainfall patterns and frequent droughts and floods.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book examines in detail a variety of topics ranging from the history of global warming to the current global trends. It focuses on the controversy regarding the main causes of global warming, the role of UN on climate change, and specific problems of India in this regard. It also studies its overall projected impacts, sectorwise impacts on different regions, the importance of the Himalayan glacial system and the effect of present climatic conditions on Himalayan glaciers, vast coastal areas and numerous islands. The latest initiatives and measures taken to reverse the dangerous process of global warming form an integral part of the book.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be highly useful to the government executives, policymakers and NGOs concerned with global warming problems.

Today our understanding of environment has certainly become more scientific as well as more humane. We have come to accept that the environment and society should be seen in integrity and not separate from each other. The ‘Doomsday syndrome’ of 1970s has been rejected. The science, society and politics have come closer for better understanding of the environment as well as to hammer out policy-decisions to ensure inclusive sustainable growth in a more equitable and more dignified world. The rectification or improvisation of the environment has become tied with welfare of humanity. New philosophical paradigms have redefined the man-man and man-nature relations in a subtle way. The more we study the environment, the more complex it becomes. But that has not come in the way of taking concrete steps. Growing sensitiveness has forced us to eco-restructure our energy base and social behavior. The pattern of the climate-change negotiations and actions taken in this regard show that we are moving on the path of sustainability, albeit little slow. \n\u003cbr\u003eThe book attempts to encapsulate several dimensions of contemporary discussion on environment in five chapters dealing with separate yet interconnected themes. These five themes are: biodiversity; global warming; sustainable development; eco-summits; and environmentalisms. It presents a holistic picture of the debate on environment in the backdrop of developments in scientific knowledge as well as changing social, political, geo-political, economic, and technological realities. The book is written with global perspective in mind so far as the issues are concerned. But at the same time these issues have been contextualized in the larger debate on varying perceptions in different regions, especially the developed and developing countries. The needs, aspirations and challenges of the poor and small island countries have also been integrated in the discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908174442647,"sku":"9788126921591","price":697.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126921591.webp?v=1769306238"},{"product_id":"handbook-of-environmental-biotechnology-vol-1","title":"Handbook of Environmental Biotechnology  (Vol. 1)","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): S.c.
