Adaptation to Climate Change with a Focus on Rural Areas and India
The Indo-German project, ‘Climate Change Adaptation in Rural Areas of India’ (CCA RAI, www.ccarai.org) has launched a book, titled “Adaptation to Climate Change with a Focus on Rural Areas and India”. The publication provides an overview of the main issues in current adaptation discussions and suggests adaptation options in six different fields related to rural areas: Agriculture, Forests, Biodiversity, Water Resources, Coastal Zones, Disaster Risk Management. It also describes concepts and approaches for adaptation and its integration into development planning besides giving examples from India, as well as other parts of the world, to illustrate how existing theory can be put into practice. The book was jointly published by Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in October 2011. The authors are international and Indian adaptation practitioners and academics
