Policy and Practice in Climate Change and Biodiversity Conservation

Climate change and biodiversity decline are the major challenges humankind is now facing, with profound consequences for people and the ecosystems. Continuous policy crafting is a prerequisite in mitigating climate change maladies, as the world is witnessing an unprecedented eruption of climate induced catastrophes, including heat waves, hurricanes, unseasonal rain and diseases spurred by climate change and globalization. This book gives a bird's eye view of climate change, biodiversity conservation and practical policy imperatives for mitigating inauspicious climate impacts in a globalized digital era. The briefing looks at the relationships and describes policies that promote the interconnectedness of biodiversity and climate action, which is essential for effective environmental stewardship. This also conveys how improperly resolving one problem can make it harder to improve another. The book is useful for academics, policy makers, scholars, researchers, health professionals and people involved in climate change research and mitigation strategies.
