This contributed volume is focused on  SDG 3, 6, 7 ,9, 11,
15, and it covers extensive knowledge on damage and loss contexts
of climate change in a developing country. India’s vast
landscape with its diversity of eco-geo-physiography,
socio-cultural, and developmental settings, coupled with climate
change and anthropogenic factors, makes it one of the most
disaster-prone countries of the world and, thus, representing
almost all the disasters and extreme events associated with climate
change, variability, and weather phenomenon. Besides common
hazards,such as heavy rainfall, floods, drought, cyclone and heat
wave, secondary and composite disasters like forest fires and
disease epidemics are also covered with case studies and examples.
Cross-cutting aspects like infrastructure resilience, gender and
social equity concerns, legal and assessment tools, and futuristic
vision have been covered well in the book. Disaster risk reduction,
preparedness, and resilience as central themes of adaptation to
climate change are presented through policy discussions, tools, and
strategic analysis of past and recent lessons. This book is of
common interest to a wider range of readers across policyplanning,
academia, research, and professional practitioners having interest
in adaptation, resilience building and sustainability in developing
countries of the world. Though it is primarily a reference book, it
can also serve as a textbook for university courses and
professional trainings in climate change adaptation, disaster
management, sustainability and strategic management studies.Â
