This important book gives an overview of the state-of-the-art understanding on the drivers, state, and responses to the coastal environmental changes in the Asia and Pacific region. The region is home to the world's largest concentration of coral reefs and mangroves. It accommodates fully two-thirds of the world's human population and its economic activities have the highest growth rate in the world. This book provides important perspectives on what is and will be going on in the region's coastal zones. The Asia-Pacific also forms part of the Pacific's so-called 'Rim of Fire' and is, therefore, vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis. Threats of global environmental change such as climate change and sea-level rise will superpose on such problems. It is thus vital that appropriate policies and measures are needed for coastal management in the region, in the context of both local and global trends. This book is a highly important addition to the debate.

Etat : Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 384 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The Asia-Pacific region is home to the world¿s largest region of coral reefs and mangroves. It accommodates two-thirds of the world¿s human population and its economic activities have the highest growth rate in the world. Ongoing degradation of the environment, resulting from coastal development, deforestation, desertification and over-harvesting, are becoming a matter of great concern, as floods and droughts occur as a result of this degradation. The Asia-Pacific region also includes part of the ¿Pacific Rim of Fire¿ and is, therefore, vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis, as the world became aware following the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami on 26 December 2004. Threats of global environmental change, such as climate change and sea-level rise, will exacerbate such problems. Therefore, appropriate policies and measures are needed for coastal management, to address both the local and global trends. This book gives an overview of the state-of-the-art understanding on the drivers, state, and responses to coastal environmental changes in the Asia-Pacific region. It provides excellent perspectives on current and anticipated environmental changes in the region¿s coastal areas, to researchers, students, policy makers, coastal managers and other stakeholders.
