Climate change is broadly recognized as a key environmental issue
affecting social and ecological systems worldwide. At the Cancun
summit of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change's 16th Conference, the parties jointly agreed that the
vulnerable groups particularly in developing countries and whose
livelihood is based on land use practices are the most common
victims as in most cases their activities are shaped by the
climate. Therefore, solving the climate dilemma through mitigation
processes and scientific research is an ethical concern. Thus
combining the knowledge systems of the societies and scientific
evidences can greatly assist in the creation of coping mechanisms
for sustainable development in a situation of changing climate.
International Humboldt Kolleg focusing on "knowledge systems of
societies and Climate Change" was organized at ISEC. This event was
of unique importance, as the year 2011-12 was celebrated as the
60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between India and Germany
with the motto "Germany and India - Infinite Opportunities." This
volume is the outcome of the papers presented during the IHK 2011
at ISEC, India.
