'Climate change' and 'sustainable development' involve complex
interactions between climatic, environmental, economic,
institutional, social, political and technological processes at
global level. They cannot be addressed or comprehended in isolation
of broader societal goals. The papers in the book examine these
twin aspects that contribute towards global development and thus
present the various efforts undertaken by the researchers,
academicians and policy makers in this direction. The book while
dealing with current research and development in climate change and
sustainable development, also discusses about the significance of
natural resource management for sustainable development. It covers
the issues of topical interest viz., carbon emission trading,
organic farming, waste water management, impact of land use,
special and temporal variation of rainfall, concepts of green
building, sustainable agriculture, resource recovery mechanism,
disaster risk reduction initiatives, GHG emissions, environmental
regulations etc. Written by leading experts, the diverse chapters
dovetailed in the volume serve the interests of all sections of the
society who are working in the areas of climate change and
sustainable development. Practicing engineers, environmental
managers, academicians, researchers, research scholars, students
and government officials will consult this book as an essential
guide to help mitigate and adapt the effects of climate change and
sustainable development.
