"Climate Change and Island and Coastal Vulnerability is the
outcome of a selection of peer reviewed edited papers presented at
the International Workshop on Climate Change and Island
Vulnerability (IWCCI) held at Kadmat Island, Lakshadweep, India in
October 2010. Marine and coastal biodiversity, sea level rise
vulnerability, fisheries, climate change impact on livelihood
options, water and sanitation in island ecosystem and mitigation,
adaptation and governance are the focal themes. The basic concept
conveyed in the book is that biodiversity of islands is to be
protected as a natural mechanism to mitigate climate change.
Probability recurrence of mass coral bleaching and the management
of coral reefs and their future protection are discussed in this
book. Marine productivity and climate change for the last ten
thousand years in the Arabian Sea have been examined with core
records. Green technology is suggested as an important tool for
mitigation and adaptation programmes in climate change. Measures
taken to project biomass utilisation of islands as an energy source
is delineated. Climate change may pose a potential threat on human
health. Improved sanitation packages and models that are cost
effective and environment-friendly for islands are uniquely
presented in this book."
