This book is intended to fill a gap in climate-change literature by
providing a comprehensive regional study and identifying the
overall adaptation challenges in a real-life context. The way in
which possible climate impacts interact with a range of other
challenges in agriculture, forestry, disaster planning, health
care, general economic development, and common livelihoods are
presented, and it is argued that greater realism and broader vision
are needed in order to address the climate challenge. For instance,
unsuitable land- use changes in both coastal and highland regions
may increase the vulnerability of rural people, many of whom are
already living on the fringes. The author(s) also state(s) that,
depending on context, it may be pertinent to address short-term and
unsustainable resource use, irregularities in local land
management, ineffective governance and social inequality, which are
all likely to aggravate the impact of external climate and weather.
Not least, it is imperative to integrate general environmental
management with any climate-change adaptation effort.
