Sustainable Climate Action and Water Management
This book discusses various issues relating to water resources, climate change and sustainable development. Water is the main driving force behind three major pillars of sustainable development: environmental, social and economic. As stated in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, development of these pillars rests on the availability and management of resources to fulfill the demand for water. By identifying the various challenges in the context of water resources and climate change, the book offers insights into achieving a better and more sustainable future. It provides a unique forum for practitioners and academics to exchange ideas on emerging issues, approaches, and practices in the area of water resources, climate change, and sustainability, while also presenting valuable information for policymakers on the changing contours of water management and climate change mitigation. As such it is a useful resource for decision-makers at the local as well as the global level.
Climate Change Modelling for Local Adaptation in the Hindu Kush - Himalayan Region
This book presents a portrait of the social advantages and limitations of climate change related modeling in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region. It addresses the implied but largely uncritiqued relationships between scientific modeling knowledge and local adaptation responses. It also presents theoretical perspectives on modeling and adaptation,
Advances In Agri-Management General Management Business Development And Innovative Practices
Economics is rather being a stationary subject is a dynamic one. We are living in a developing country with mixed economy. The economy is however changing. The government is implying new policies thus affecting the lifestyle and testing the managing capacity of a business person. In our everyday life we deal with the situations where we have make decisions regarding fulfilment of our basic need with available resources. This book entitled ‘Advances in Agri-Management’ is meant with an aim of enhancing the knowledge of the students and every interested person in the concerned subject matter. The main aim of the publication is to provide the academic fraternity, insights and supports ways ...
Xenobiotics in the Soil Environment
This book describes the vast variety of xenobiotics, such as pesticides, antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes, agrochemicals and other pollutants, their interactions with the soil environment, and the currently available strategies and techniques for soil decontamination and bioremediation. Topics covered include: transport mechanisms of pollutants along the Himalayas; use of earthworms in biomonitoring; metagenomic strategies for assessing contaminated sites; xenobiotics in the food chain; phyto-chemical remediation; biodegradation by fungi; and the use of enzymes and potential microbes in biotransformation. Accordingly, the book offers a valuable guide for scientists in the fields of environmental ecology, soil and food sciences, agriculture, and applied microbiology.

In A Distant Land, Apprehensions About The Future Of Their Homeland The past few weeks saw an unraveling in Afghanistan that was as striking for the speed at which it took place as the overnight transformation in the mood of the people of the war-torn country. The emotions captured among Afghans within the country and other parts of the world have ranged from anger to fear to despair as the Taliban entrenched themselves. In our Cover Story, we catch up with some Afghan nationals who came to Bhubaneswar for higher studies to secure a better future for themselves and their families. They have watched the happenings unfold from a distance, but the impact has been devastating. As one of the stud...
Multi-Hazard Vulnerability and Resilience Building
Multi-hazard Vulnerability and Resilience Building: Cross Cutting Issues presents multi-disciplinary issues facing disaster risk reduction and sustainable development, focusing on various dimensions of existing and future risk scenarios and highlighting concerted efforts of scientific communities to find new adaptation methods. Disaster risk reduction and resilience requires participation of a wide array of stakeholders, ranging from academicians to policy makers to disaster managers. The book offers evidence-based, problem-solving techniques from social, natural, engineering, and other perspectives, and connects data, research, and conceptual work with practical cases on disaster risk management to capture multi-sectoral aspects of disaster resilience, adaptation strategy, and sustainability. - Provides foundational knowledge on integrated disaster vulnerability and resilience building - Brings together disaster risk reduction and resilience scientists, policy-makers, and practitioners from different disciplines - Includes case studies on disaster resilience and sustainable development from a multi-disciplinary perspective
Identifying Emerging Issues in Disaster Risk Reduction, Migration, Climate Change and Sustainable Development
The goal of this book is to explore disaster risk reduction (DRR), migration, climate change adaptation (CCA) and sustainable development linkages from a number of different geographical, social and natural science angles. Well-known scientists and practitioners present different perspectives regarding these inter-linkages from around the world, with theoretical discussions as well as field observations. This publication contributes in particular to the discussion on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030 and the debate about how to improve DRR, including CCA, policies and practices, taking into account migration processes from a large perspective where both natur...
