The collected papers of \u003cem\u003eClimate Change as Environmental and Economic Hazard\u003c\/em\u003e argue that although efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are still vital, the new policy paradigm should shift the priority to adaptation, with a special focus on disaster risk reduction. It should also consider climate change not purely as a hazard and a challenge, but as a window of opportunity to shift to a new sustainable development policy model, which stresses the particular importance of communities' resilience. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe papers in this volume explore the key issues linked to this shift, including: ' Increasing research into the Earth Sciences, climate reconstruction and forecasting in order to decrease the degree of uncertainty about the origin, development and implications of climate change; ' The introduction of more binding and comprehensive regulation of both greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation measures, like that in the United Kingdom; ' Matching climate policy with that for disasters and mainstreaming it into overall development strategies. The volume is a valuable addition to previous climate change research and considers a new policy approach to this new global challenge. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47616440795287,"sku":"9781138970922","price":4735.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138970922.webp?v=1775113404","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/climate-change-as-environmental-and-economic-hazard-9781138970922","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
