📖 About the Book

This book delves into the impacts of climate change and the adaptation strategies required to mitigate the risks posed by extreme weather events. It focuses on how various sectors of society — such as agriculture, biodiversity, forestry, water resources, and human and animal health — are vulnerable to weather-related disasters like floods, droughts, heat waves, and cold waves.

With the rise in sea surface temperature and sea level, the book highlights the effect these factors have on monsoon uncertainties and the shift in both coastal populations and marine products. Food security is increasingly at risk due to the growing challenges posed by global warming.

The book covers various sectors including agriculture, horticulture, plantation crops, livestock, fisheries, forestry, water resources, and biodiversity. It includes research papers and invited papers that discuss adaptation and mitigation strategies to cope with future climate change scenarios.
