There is evidence that the world has been witnessing more intense
tropical cyclones. Accompanying these tropical cyclones are
heightened levels of devastation that witness the loss of human
life and wildlife, destruction of natural resources and property
and the disruption of major economic and social activities. To this
end, there is a growing demand for publications focusing on
tropical cyclones at various levels that include regional, national
and local levels, especially from Africa. One sub-region that has
been witnessing the harsh realities of the increasing intensity of
tropical cyclones in southern Africa. However, within this region,
countries are usually impacted at varying degrees of damage. Among
the countries that usually encounter the harshness of these
tropical cyclones are the Comoros, Botswana, Madagascar, Mauritius,
Malawi, Mozambique, Reunion, the Seychelles, South Africa and
Zimbabwe. From the history books, the following tropical cyclones
made landfall and hit southern Africa: Eline (2000), Favio (2007),
Dineo (2017), Idai (2019), Kenneth (2019), Eliose (2021), and
Chalane (2020). Although all these tropical cyclones had negative
impacts, it is undoubtedly Tropical Cyclone Idai that shocked the
world with its devastation mainly in Mozambique, Malawi and
Zimbabwe in March 2019. Key infrastructure was destroyed,
livelihoods were lost, and the environment was degraded. Thousands
of people died, many more were injured, many remain unaccounted for
and others remained homeless as of the time of finalising this book
in February 2021. This book, therefore focuses on the devastating
impacts of Tropical Cyclone Idai in Zimbabwe. The book interfaces
Tropical Cyclone Idai's impacts with the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development and some of the 17 Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). This linkage was deliberate given that there is still
time remaining until 2030, and the world has generally agreed to
move into the future along the pathways of sustainable development
and sustainability. The book adds to the first comprehensive
profiling of the impacts of tropical cyclones on southern African
economies, particularly that of Zimbabwe. It also comes up as the
first in a three-volume series. The other volumes to look out for
are Cyclones in Southern Africa Vol 2: Foundational and Fundamental
Topics; and Cyclones in Southern Africa Vol 3: Implications for the
Sustainable Development Goals. To this end, this book is suitable
as a read for several professionals and disciplines such as tourism
and hospitality studies, economics, sustainable development,
development studies, environmental sciences, arts, geography, life
sciences, politics, planning and public health.
In Asia and the Pacific, climate change is now a well-recognised
risk to water security but responses to this risk are either under
reported, or continue to be guided by the incremental or business
as usual approaches. Water policy still tends to remain too narrow
and fragmented, compared to the multi-sectoral and cross-scalar
nature of risks to water security. What's more, current water
security debates tend to be framed in discipline specific or
academic ways, failing to understand decision making and
problem-solving contexts within which policy actors and
partitioners have to operate on a daily basis. Much of the efforts
to date has focussed on assessing and predicting the risks in the
context of increasing levels of uncertainty. There is still limited
analysis of emerging practices of risks assessment and mitigation
in different contexts in Asia and the Pacific. Going beyond the
national scales and focussing on several socio-ecological zones,
this book captures stories written by engaged scholars on recent
attempts to develop cross-sectoral and cross-scaler solutions to
assess and mitigate risks to water security across Asia and the
Pacific. Identifying lessons from successes and failures, it
highlights management and strategic lessons that water and climate
leaders of Asia and the Pacific need to consider. This book
showcases reflective and analytical thought pieces written by key
actors in the climate and water spaces. Several critical
socio-ecological zones are covered - from Pakistan in the west to
pacific islands in the east. The chapters clearly identify
strategies for improvement based on the analysis of emerging
responses to climate risks to water security and gaps in current
practices. The book will include an editorial introduction and a
final synthesis chapter to ensure clear articulation of common
themes and to highlight the overall messages of the book.
