The word "communication" comes from the Latin verb 'communicare', which means "to talk together, confer, discourse and consult, one with another"1. It is intimately related to the Latin word 'communitas', which means not only community but also fellowship and justice in men's dealings with one another. Society is based on the possibility of word, on co-operation. But without communication co-operation is impossible. Through communication men share knowledge, information and experience and thus understand, persuade, convert or control their fellows.

Over the last few decades, unprecedented global population growth has led to increased demand for food and shelter. At the same time, extraction of natural resources beyond the Earth’s resilience capacity has had a devastating effect on ecosystems and environmental health. Furthermore, climate change is having a significant impact in a number of areas, including the global hydrological cycle, ecosystem functioning, coastal vulnerability, forest ecology, food security, and agricultural sustainability. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), only immediate and sustained action will prevent climate change causing irreversible and potentially catastrophic damage to our environment. This book presents various scientific views and concepts, research, reviews, and case studies on contemporary environmental issues in changing climate scenarios and highlights different adaptation measures. Increasing awareness of modern-day patterns of climate change, it addresses questions often raised by environmental scientists, researchers, policymakers and general readers.
