Climate Risk and Resilience – An Excerpt
This is not a routine climate-change textbook. It is a practical companion and a call to action – resulting from decades of teaching, research and field engagement. Across 12 crisp, comprehensive chapters, the book moves from climate science (energy balance, greenhouse effect, Keeling Curve, feedback loops) to risk assessment (hazard–exposure–vulnerability frameworks), and then to real-world resilience solutions. It covers decarbonization (renewables, nuclear, green hydrogen, energy efficiency), nature-based mitigation (forests, soils, agroforestry, mangroves), and the policy-to-action pipeline (Paris Agreement, COP process, Sendai Framework).
