This book is a collection of works written by young scientists
involved in the Integrated Disaster Risk Research (IRDR).
Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) is a decade-long
research programme co-sponsored by the International Science
Council (merged by International Council for Science (ICSU), the
International Social Science Council (ISSC), and the United Nations
Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). It is a global,
multi-disciplinary approach to dealing with the challenges brought
by natural disasters, mitigating their impacts, and improving
related policy-making mechanisms. The book examines
multidisciplinary research and actions related to disaster risk
reduction internationally. The Integrated Research on Disaster Risk
(IRDR) Young Scientists programme is: * A sub-programme within IRDR
which promotes capacity building of young professionals and
encourages them to undertake innovative and need-based research
which makes science-policy and science-practice linkages stronger.
* IRDR Young Scientists Programme was started in late 2016.
Currently, it is a community of 115 young researchers from over 40
countries after 3 batches of application. * IRDR network and
partners provide academic advice and training courses, workshops,
and programmes for IRDR young scientists. * IRDR young scientists
contribute to innovative research in the field of disaster risk
reduction and participate in conferences and/or social media as the
ambassador of IRDR. The book is of interest to researchers and
scholars in the field of governance of sustainability and
environmental governance. Postgraduate students will benefit this
book within courses on environmental governance, on climate change
governance, and on transformation and social change processes.
Societal actors in climate change adaptation and other
environmental governance fields on local, national, and
international levels can benefit from the focus on societally
relevant findings in the past 10 years of research on adaptiveness.
This edited volume reviews the latest advances in policies and
actions in understanding the science, impacts and management of
climate change in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the most
vulnerable countries to climate change due to its geographical,
physical, and social-economic situations. There are many
initiatives to understand and deal with the impacts in the country.
The national government has issued key guiding policies for climate
change. International agencies together with local stakeholders are
working on strengthening the capacity in the policy formulations
and implement actions to build community resilience. Universities
are conducting research on climate change related at different
scales. Cities and local governments are implementing innovations
in adapting to the impacts of climate change and transiting toward
green economy. This book summarizes and discusses the
state-of-the-art regarding climate change in Indonesia including
adaptation and mitigation measures. The primary readership of the
book includes policy makers, scientists and practitioners of
climate change actions in Indonesia and other countries facing
similar challenges. Chapter "Carbon Stocks from Peat Swamp Forest
and Oil Palm Plantation in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia" is

Disasters undermine societal well-being, causing loss of lives and
damage to social and economic infrastructures. Disaster resilience
is central to achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals,
especially in regions where extreme inequality combines with the
increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters. Disaster
risk reduction and resilience requires participation of wide array
of stakeholders ranging from academicians to policy makers to
disaster managers. Disaster Resilient Cities: Adaptation for
Sustainable Development offers evidence-based, problem-solving
techniques from social, natural, engineering and other disciplinary
perspectives. It connects data, research, conceptual work with
practical cases on disaster risk management, capturing the
multi-sectoral aspects of disaster resilience, adaptation strategy
and sustainability. The book links disaster risk management with
sustainable development under a common umbrella, showing that
effective disaster resilience strategies and practices lead to
achieving broader sustainable development goals.
Rapid and transformational actions are ever more urgently needed to
achieve a just, resilient, and ecologically sustainable global
society, as envisioned and supported by the Sustainable Development
Goals. Moreover, dynamic governance approaches are vital for
addressing changing and uncertain conditions. At many levels,
governance needs to be responsive and flexible - in one word -
adaptive. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of the
conceptual development of adaptiveness as a key concept in the
environmental governance literature, complemented by applications
from global, regional, and national levels. It reviews the politics
of adaptiveness, investigates which governance processes foster
adaptiveness, and discusses how, when and why adaptiveness
influences earth system governance. It is a timely synthesis for
students, researchers and practitioners interested in environmental
governance, sustainability and social change processes. This is one
of a series of publications associated with the Earth System
Governance Project. For more publications, see
