RISCO E ADAPTAÇÃO COSTEIRA ÀS ALTERAÇÕES CLIMÁTICAS - Estudos de caso na Guiné-Bissau
Este livro debruça sobre um dos maiores problemas ambientais que a humanidade enfrenta e que vem ganhando atenção especial de cientistas, governos, indivíduos, empresas, agências internacionais e organizações não governamentais de todo o mundo: as alterações climáticas. Há claras evidências que a elevação do nível médio global do mar causada pelas alterações climáticas será inevitável, pelo menos durante este século, mesmo que sejam neutralizadas as emissões de gases com efeito de estufa, ameaçando severamente às comunidades costeiras. Portanto, torna-se cada vez mais necessário e urgente as comunidades costeiras enfrentarem esse desafio – planear e implementar m...
Reformation Sources
Except perhaps for Wittenberg, no place in the German Empire played a greater role in the early Reformation than the free imperial city of Strasbourg. This volume presents the results of a workshop on the correspondence of a major figure in the Strasbourg Reformation, Wolfgang Capito. The collection includes interpretive essays, text editions of two Capito works and documents of a lawsuit that affected his establishment in the city, as well as studies of the problems of producing modern editions of Capito himself and his contemporaries Erasmus, Bucer, Bullinger, and Beza. Readers will find fresh insights into the intellectual, religious, and political world of southwestern Germany in the early sixteenth century.

Climate Change Adaptation Manual
Due to the lack of success in climate change mitigation efforts, the importance of adaptation is becoming more and more apparent and is now one of the main imperatives of international research and action. However, research on adaptation is mostly not directly applicable to adaptation policy or practice, leaving a gap between scientific results and practical advice for decision makers and planners. This book seeks to address this problem and bridge the gap and should provide readers with practical and applicable information on climate change adaptation. Following an introduction, the book is organised into four main sections, each reflecting an essential component in the adaptation process. Climate change adaptation is an emerging subject area and has gained increased political and academic attention within the last decade. Whereas most books in the field focus on adaptation in developing countries, this volume provides an examination of predominantly European policy and offers inter-disciplinary insight into cutting edge knowledge and lessons learnt in a relatively new field of implementation.
Saving Small Island Developing States
Small island states have a big problem - the environmental consequences of climate change. This text introduces and explains the key environmental policy challenges and suggested responses to them.
Tropical Extremes
Tropical Extremes: Natural Variability and Trends features the most up-to-date information on present and future trends related to climate change and tropical extremes. Including contributions from the foremost experts in the field, this important reference addresses the science behind climate change and natural variability in relation to tropical extremes. The book also includes practical insight into modeling and observation approaches. In a warming world, the increase of weather extremes presents a scientifically complex and societally relevant challenge. The book confronts these challenges with observational evidence, modeling studies and expected impacts. This is an essential reference ...
