Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Gestión ambiental  Sostenibilidad  Ambiente  La política energética  Energía y estado  Ciencias ambientales  Política  Economía y Gestión Energética Clasificación: 333.7 Recursos naturales y energía Resumen: En las últimas décadas, la frecuencia y gravedad de los desastres naturales y de origen humano han aumentado en toda Asia. Estos desastres provocan pérdidas sustanciales de vidas, medios de subsistencia y bienes comunitarios, lo que no sólo amenaza el ritmo del desarrollo socioeconómico, sino que también anula los logros obtenidos con tanto esfuerzo. Se sabe que los fenómenos y desastres extremos como inundaciones, sequías, calor, incendios, ciclones y mareas se ven exacerbados por cambios ambientales, incluidos el cambio climático, los cambios en el uso de la tierra y la degradación de los recursos naturales. La creciente variabilidad climática y las vulnerabilidades multidimensionales han afectado gravemente las capacidades sociales, ecológicas y económicas de los habitantes de la región que son, económicamente hablando, los que tienen menor capacidad de adaptación. Los peligros climáticos y otros peligros ambientales y los riesgos antropogénicos, junto con capacidades débiles y vacilantes, impactan gravemente los ecosistemas y las contribuciones de la naturaleza a las personas (NCP) y, por lo tanto, al bienestar humano. Por lo tanto, la creación de resiliencia a largo plazo mediante la reducción del riesgo de desastres y la planificación climática adaptativa integrada se ha convertido en una prioridad clave tanto para los científicos como para los encargados de formular políticas. Las Soluciones basadas en la Naturaleza (NbS) son un enfoque rentable que utiliza los servicios de los ecosistemas y la biodiversidad para la reducción del riesgo de desastres y la adaptación al cambio climático, al tiempo que proporciona una variedad de beneficios colaterales como medios de vida sostenibles y seguridad alimentaria, hídrica y energética. Este libro analiza el concepto de Soluciones basadas en la Naturaleza (SbN), tanto como ciencia como arte, y explica cómo se puede aplicar para desarrollar ecosistemas saludables y resilientes a nivel local, nacional, regional y global. El libro cubre métodos y herramientas ilustrativos adoptados para aplicar SbN en diferentes países. Los autores analizan las aplicaciones y los desafíos de las SbN, las tendencias de investigación y los conocimientos futuros que tienen una relevancia regional y global más amplia. Los aspectos cubiertos incluyen: restauración del paisaje, adaptación basada en los ecosistemas, reducción del riesgo de desastres basada en los ecosistemas, restauración ecológica, gestión de áreas protegidas basada en los ecosistemas, desarrollo de infraestructura verde, desarrollo de infraestructura respetuosa con la naturaleza en varios tipos de ecosistemas, zonas agroclimáticas y cuencas hidrográficas. . El libro ofrece ideas para comprender los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (ODS) a nivel de base y puede ayudar a las comunidades indígenas y locales a aprovechar los servicios de los ecosistemas para ayudar a alcanzarlos. Ofrece un recurso único y esencial para investigadores, estudiantes, corporaciones, administradores y formuladores de políticas que trabajan en los campos del medio ambiente, la geografía, el desarrollo, la planificación de políticas, las ciencias naturales, las ciencias biológicas, la agricultura, la salud, el cambio climático y los estudios de desastres.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : Over the past few decades, the frequency and severity of natural and human-induced disasters have increased across Asia. These disasters lead to substantial loss of life, livelihoods and community assets, which not only threatens the pace of socio-economic development, but also undo hard-earned gains. Extreme events and disasters such as floods, droughts, heat, fire, cyclones and tidal surges are known to be exacerbated by environmental changes including climate change, land-use changes and natural resource degradation. Increasing climate variability and multi-dimensional vulnerabilities have severely affected the social, ecological and economic capacities of the people in the region who are, economically speaking, those with the least capacity to adapt. Climatic and other environmental hazards and anthropogenic risks, coupled with weak and wavering capacities, severely impact the ecosystems and Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) and, thereby, to human well-being. Long-term resilience building through disaster risk reduction and integrated adaptive climate planning, therefore, has become a key priority for scientists and policymakers alike. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) is a cost-effective approach that utilizes ecosystem and biodiversity services for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, while also providing a range of co-benefits like sustainable livelihoods and food, water and energy security. This book discusses the concept of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) Ѐ“ both as a science and as art Ѐ“ and elaborates on how it can be applied to develop healthy and resilient ecosystems locally, nationally, regionally and globally. The book covers illustrative methods and tools adopted for applying NbS in different countries. The authors discuss NbS applications and challenges, research trends and future insights that have wider regional and global relevance. The aspects covered include: landscape restoration, ecosystem-based adaptation, ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction, ecological restoration, ecosystem-based protected areas management, green infrastructure development, nature-friendly infrastructure development in various ecosystem types, agro-climatic zones and watersheds. The book offers insights into understanding the sustainable development goals (SDGs) at the grass roots level and can help indigenous and local communities harness ecosystem services to help achieve them. It offers a unique, essential resource for researchers, students, corporations, administrators and policymakers working in the fields of the environment, geography, development, policy planning, the natural sciences, life sciences, agriculture, health, climate change and disaster studies.
