This open access book documents myriads of ways community-based
climate change adaptation and resilience programs are being
implemented in South Asian countries. The narrative style of
writing in this volume makes it accessible to a diverse audience
from academics and researchers to practitioners in various
governmental, non-governmental and international agencies. At a
time when climate change presents humanity with a gloomy future,
the stories of innovation, creativity, grassroots engagement and
locally applicable solutions highlighted in this book provides
insights into hopeful ways of approaching climate solutions. South
Asian countries have been dealing with the impact of climate change
for decades and thus offer valuable learning opportunities for
developing countries within and beyond the region as well as many
western countries that are confronting the wrath of climate induced
natural disasters more recently. SANDEE has been a pioneer in the
development of research and training in environmental economics and
related issues in South Asia and Prof Maler has been throughout
SANDEE's history, its mentor, and its strongest supporter. Many
young economists in South Asia have significantly benefited from
Prof Maler's guidance and inputs. The present volume on "Climate
Change and Community Resilience: Insights from South Asia" is a
fitting tribute and an excellent reflection of Prof Maler's
contributions to the SANDEE programme throughout his association. -
Mahesh Banskota, Professor, Development Studies, School of Arts,
Kathmandu University This comprehensive volume aptly identifies
grassroots initiatives as the core of the problem of adaptation to
climate change. The analysis of the different experiments is lucid,
inclusive, and full of interesting detail. The methodologies used
and the subjects covered span a range of frameworks and narratives.
Put together, the studies are a fitting tribute to Karl-Goran
Maler, who spent years putting his impeccable expertise to use for
the cause of enhancing research in South Asia. - Kanchan Chopra,
Former Director and Professor, Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi,
and Fellow, SANDEE The slow international policy response to
climate change elevates the importance of understanding how
communities can respond to climate change's many threats. This
unusually accessible volume provides that understanding for South
Asia while being relevant to the rest of the world. Its emphasis on
research by scholars from the region makes it a wonderful tribute
to Prof. Karl-Goeran Maler, who contributed so much to the growth
of environmental economics research capacity in South Asia. -
