This book explores global implications of human activities that
trigger changes in climate and the appropriate scientific,
adaptive, and sustainable approaches as a proven information tool.
It reveals that the ecological, social, and economic dynamics of
the changing earth encompasses huge uncertainties coupled with its
ability to be linked to other forms of global change. From a
scientific perspective, multiple efforts are expedient to integrate
the many aspects of global changes. Increases in science and
technology have afforded nations the ability to plan for the future
by investing in adaptive and mitigative measures to monitor present
and future changes. Just as the climatic and ecological impacts of
climate change are unequally distributed, so is the adaptive
capacity to cope with these impacts in different nations.
Considering that wealth, infrastructure, and political stability
all contribute to a nation's capacity to anticipate and respond to
change. So, global South nations who are disadvantaged in these
areas are faced with more inequalities and more unique adaptive
strategies. There is need for increased aggregate efforts and
interaction between scientists, stakeholders, and policy makers to
improve both decision-making and global change in science.
Scientists and researchers need to work on expanding the range of
polices that are proposed, debated, and implemented. This way,
novelty, new ideas and methodologies are infused into the society.
At this point of multiple climate footprints, there is an immense
need to explore all ideas evaluating their possibilities in
presenting alternative futures, developing alternative policies,
and adaptive options to solve the intractable ecological footprints
of climate change.
