This book provides a comprehensive guide to land restoration, focusing on the Global South's drylands. By adopting ecosystem-based approaches it explores the interplay between landscapes, ecosystems, and socio-ecological sustainability in these sensitive regions. The book features diverse case studies and examines various sectors, explaining the challenges posed by climate change and highlighting the role of scientific, technological, and traditional knowledge in fostering adaptive strategies. It emphasizes practical, action-oriented approaches for disaster risk reduction through ecosystem-based approaches. By offering tangible solutions, the text goes beyond theoretical frameworks, serving as a valuable resource for action research. The book aims to inspire efforts to restore and safeguard fragile dryland ecosystems in the Global South. It addresses the urgency of environmental challenges in these regions and presents a holistic framework integrating ecological, social, cultural and technological dimensions.This book is relevant to a diverse audience, including researchers, environmental practitioners, policymakers, and conservationist advocates. Overall, it serves as an essential reference for those dedicated to positively impacting the delicate ecological balance in the drylands of the Global South.

This book shares experiences and knowledge on climate change impacts and adaptation, risk reduction strategies, communities’ responses, and best practices from different landscapes of India. It provides insights into climate change risk reduction in trans-disciplinary frameworks. The findings and discussions put forward in the chapters, largely based on micro-level case studies, provide an in-depth understanding of interactions among ecology, society, and economy under different conditions of changing climate. It contains critical discussion on both existing and required actions as adjustments to climate change impacts by different actors at diverse scales and contexts. The recommendations will be beneficial in climate change adaptation planning for India and other developing countries, where a large portion of the population directly depends on climate-sensitive sectors. The content of the book is interdisciplinary and it will be beneficial for scholars and practitioners from naturalscience, social science, policy, and governance across the continents.
