Climate Risk

“The risks that climate change has created – and will continue to create – are appearing on multiple fronts in business. Climate risk is no longer just about extreme weather events but about a spectrum of systemic risk impacts on business – and no business is immune. Dowbiggin’s unique approach in Climate Risk and Business takes a much-needed risk-based view of how risk mitigation through decarbonization will transform business organizations in unprecedented ways. I applaud Dowbiggin’s foresight and approach to a very timely and important topic.”

Sustainable agricultural production is vital for food security and agricultural productivity. It is greatly influenced by weather and climate conditions. This book focuses on understanding weather and climate systems and crop yield productions, including integrated weather-crop prediction systems for climate risk management in agriculture. It examines the impact of climate change and its variability on different crops, and possible ways to minimize the loss for farmers.

This book focuses on integrated disaster risk reduction arising out of climate change and shows how communities build resilience through adaptive and transformative strategies at the local and global levels. It integrates disaster risk, uncertainty, and maladaptation to climate change with evidence from empirical research and a systematic review of existing studies. The book also proposes two important contributions, which makes it distinctive. First, it gives a systematic review of the literature to capture the changing context and concept of risk, uncertainty, and maladaptation to climate change. Second, it uses case studies from around the globe to demonstrate the ways that communities have fostered to build resilience to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
