Although much is known about the processes and effects of land
degradation and climate change, little is understood about the
links between them. Less still is known about how these processes
are likely to interact in different social-ecological systems
around the world, or how societies might be able to adapt to this
twin challenge. This book identifies key vulnerabilities to the
combined effects of climate change and land degradation around the
world. It identifies triple-win adaptations that can tackle both
climate change and land degradation, whilst supporting biodiversity
and ecosystem services. The book discusses methods for monitoring
effects of climate change and land degradation, and adaptations to
these processes. It argues for better co-operation and knowledge
exchange, so that the research, land user and policy communities
can work together more effectively to tackle these challenges,
harnessing the "wisdom of crowds" to assess vulnerability and adapt
to climate change and land degradation, whilst protecting
livelihoods and biodiversity.
