Poverty reduction challenges in the twenty-first century are not
the same as those from the previous century. The shift is due in no
small part to climate change and climate-related weather disasters,
such as extreme flood and drought. The magnitude and frequency of
such events are only expected to increase in the coming decades,
affecting more and more impoverished people across the globe.
Poverty Reduction in a Changing Climate, edited by Hari Bansha
Dulal, is a work which discusses the new innovations and funding
mechanisms which have emerged in response to the rise of
climate-related challenges in the twenty-first century. Dulal and
the text's contributors explore the synergies and implications of
those innovations with respect to poverty alleviation goals. This
collection brings together a range of scholars from different
backgrounds, ranging from political science, economics, public
policy, and environmental science, all analyzing poverty reduction
challenges and opportunities from different, forward-thinking
perspectives.

Economists have had much to say about what causes aggregate
economic growth, but they have been more reticent about the
distributional dimension of that growth. To understand development
and the process of poverty reduction requires understanding not
only how total income grows, but also how its distribution behaves
over time. 'The Microeconomics of Income Distribution Dynamics in
East Asia and Latin America' is a major new contribution to that
process. The authors propose a decomposition of differences in
entire distributions of household incomes, shedding new light on
the powerful, and often conflicting, forces that underpin the
changes in poverty and inequality that accompany the process of
economic development. This approach is applied to three East Asian
countries--Indonesia, Malaysia, and China--and to four in Latin
America--Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.
