While mitigation of climate change conditions requires international cooperation and agreement, adaptive changes accrue advantages directly to the country that undertakes them. This book
focuses on eight diverse countries addressing challenges for large cities, dangers to biodiversity and the degradation of fragile environments, rises in devastating human diseases, disruption
of agricultural yields and food imports, and large migrations resulting from disrupted livelihoods in rural areas, among other problems. The countries under consideration are South Korea,
Singapore, China, Bangladesh, Nepal, Cambodia, India, Hong Kong. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
