This volume uses a case study approach to present data on the
relevance and effectiveness of the strategic actions implemented by
NGOs, IGOs and governments at national, regional, and international
scales, drawing lessons and recommendations to enhance the capacity
of governments and institutions to deliver on climate change
adaptation and sustainable development initiatives. The authors
provide insights to policymakers, community leaders, students and
researchers working on climate change adaptation and
resilience-building practices and strategies in vulnerable
communities, including small island developing states and
post-conflict states, focusing on innovative management practices
and institutional capacity building. The cases presented here
provide insights into how institutions can strengthen local,
national, and regional capacities to adapt to climate change and
other calamities.

Love hurts. Breaking up is hard to do. For all the joy that
relationships and friendships can bring, showing romantic interest,
establishing boundaries, and expressing identities as partners and
friends isn't easy for teens. They navigate an often ugly social
universe. Even commonplace struggles can derail academic focus and
harm emotional health. English teachers hope to give students
communication skills, a love of literature, a passport to an
intellectually vibrant life rich in opportunity. Through
discussions of canonical works of literature, assignment ideas,
anecdotes from teaching, and student perspectives, this book
outlines how an academically rigorous English class can also heal,
empower, and provide wisdom for teens weathering storms in their
social lives. English class is health class. Widely taught novels
brim with rich lessons about courtship, love, heartbreak,
sexuality, bonds, and belonging. Learning to write stories,
reflections, and arguments, speak confidently, and listen
critically gives students powerful tools for self-expression,
advocacy, and empathy in their relationships and friendships. The
stakes are high and the rewards far-reaching. Students with
healthier social lives do better academically, but they also end up
becoming more responsible, caring grown-ups capable of improving an
adult society that too often feels unsafe and tragically bereft of
compassion.
