Integrated Regional Assessment (IRA) promotes a better
understanding of how regions contribute to global environmental
change. This book provides a detailed treatment of the
methodological challenges of IRA and a set of international
examples illustrating the practice of such assessments at the
regional scale. The first nine chapters address questions of scale,
uncertainty, quantitative versus qualitative approaches, and
particular conceptual frameworks for IRA evaluation. The next five
chapters illustrate a range of IRA activities combining qualitative
and quantitative approaches in innovative ways. The final five
chapters review IRA as a process from an implementation
perspective. This volume is the culmination of the START/CIRA/IHDP
initiative: a collection of international research programs,
including the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP),
the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), and the International
Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP).
The book is an important resource for researchers and policymakers
in environmental science and policy.
