    Beskrivning

    This contributed volume offers a comprehensive exploration of ecosystem-based approach for resilience building in the ecosystems of the Himalayan landscape in the context of climate change and disaster risk reduction.The Himalayan region is highly susceptible to the adverse impacts of climate change, including melting glaciers, unpredictable weather patterns, and increased natural disasters, which pose a significant threat to both the environment and the communities residing in these sensitive landscapes. In this book, we delve into the critical topics of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and its importance in addressing these climate-related challenges. By bridging the gap between climate change mitigation and disaster risk reduction, this book provides innovative strategies, case studies, and solutions that empower policymakers, researchers, environmentalists, and practitioners in the region. It offers a roadmap for sustainable, ecosystem-focused approaches to tackle the increasing risks and vulnerabilities faced by the Himalayan communities.The book is an interesting read for researchers and practitioners committed to mitigating the effects of climate change, conserving biodiversity, and reducing disaster risks in the Himalayan region. This book is going to serve as indispensable resource for professionals and enthusiasts alike who are dedicated to safeguarding the unique and important Himalayan ecosystems, and the well-being of the communities residing in this magnificent landscape.
