Las contribuciones, escritas por académicos bien establecidos, asà como por autores y profesionales emergentes en el campo, incluyen artÃculos conceptuales, enfoques metodológicos coherentes y estudios de casos de las comunidades basadas en el Mar Caribe y los Océanos Ãndico, Atlántico y PacÃfico. . En su introducción, los editores contextualizan el libro dentro de la literatura actual. Enfatizan la importancia de vÃnculos más fuertes entre la ciencia y las polÃticas sobre el cambio climático en los PEID, tanto para aumentar la efectividad de las polÃticas como para impulsar la investigación académica en el contexto de cuyas comunidades a menudo quedan excluidas de la investigación convencional. Este libro es oportuno y apropiado, dada la reciente comisión por parte del Panel Intergubernamental sobre Cambio Climático (IPCC) de un Informe Especial que apunta a abordar las vulnerabilidades, "especialmente en islas y áreas costeras, asà como las oportunidades de adaptación y desarrollo de polÃticas" tras el Acuerdo de ParÃs. Junto con esto, también existe la necesidad de apoyar a la comunidad polÃtica con más evidencia cientÃfica sobre cuestiones relacionadas con el cambio climático en los PEID, acompañando los primeros años de implementación de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas.

The View from Kiribati. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book explores how vulnerable and resilient communities from SIDS are affected by climate change; proposes and, where possible, evaluates adaptation activities; identifies factors capable of enhancing or inhibiting SIDS people's long-term ability to deal with climate change; and critiques the discourses, vocabularies, and constructions around SIDS dealing with climate change. The contributions, written by well-established scholars, as well as emerging authors and practitioners, in the field, include conceptual papers, coherent methodological approaches, and case studies from the communities based in the Caribbean Sea and the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans. In their introduction, the editors contextualise the book within the current literature. They emphasise the importance of stronger links between climate change science and policy in SIDS, both to increase effectiveness of policy and also boost scholarly enquiry in the context of whose communities are oftenexcluded by mainstream research. This book is timely and appropriate, given the recent commission by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of a Special Report that aims at addressing vulnerabilities, "especially in islands and coastal areas, as well as the adaptation and policy development opportunities" following the Paris Agreement. Coupled with this, there is also the need to support the policy community with further scientific evidence on climate change–related issues in SIDS, accompanying the first years of implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
