Adverse climate impacts are already evident across Southern Africa
and pose a serious threat to the development prospects of the
region's societies. Sustainable development in this region will
depend on the rapid development and implementation of effective
adaptation measures. This volume identifies the new socioeconomic
and political boundaries to development that result from ongoing
climate change in Southern Africa. The collected papers explore the
region's potential for a transition to development strategies that
combine meaningful socioeconomic investment and adaptation measures
while also improving livelihoods in the region. The chapters are
backed up by detailed case studies which underscore the urgent need
for national governments and multilateral agencies to develop
strategies to support Southern Africa's societies in adapting to
climate change.
In recent years, the debate on the establishment of a new
international agency on environmental protection - a 'World
Environment Organization' - has gained substantial momentum.
Several countries, including France and Germany, as well as a
number of leading experts and senior international civil servants
have openly supported the creation of such a new international
organization. However, a number of critics have also taken the
floor and brought forward important objections. This book presents
a balanced selection of articles of the leading participants in
this debate, including both major supporters and opponents of
creating a World Environment Organization. The volume is especially
relevant to students and scholars of international relations,
environmental policy and international law, as well as to
practitioners of diplomacy, international negotiations, and
environmental policy making.
