Community Resilience and Climate Change Challenges: Pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Communities around the world face an array of unprecedented challenges from climate change. From extreme weather events to biodiversity loss and resource scarcity, the impacts of climate change are far-reaching and multifaceted. Yet, amidst these challenges lies an opportunity for communities to build resilience and chart a path towards sustainable development. However, navigating this complex terrain requires actionable strategies, innovative approaches, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Community Resilience and Climate Change Challenges: Pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emerges as a beacon of hope in addressing these pressing issues. By delving into the critical intersection of community resilience and the pursuit of SDGs, this book offers a comprehensive guide for empowering communities to adapt and thrive amidst climate uncertainties. Through a diverse range of practical strategies, case studies, and innovative approaches, it equips decision-makers, practitioners, and educators with the knowledge and tools needed to tackle the complex challenges of climate change and sustainable development.
A Field Guide to Community Based Adaptation
The world's poor will be the most critically affected by a changing climate—and yet their current plight isn't improving rapidly enough to fulfill the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. If experienced development organizations are finding it difficult to solve decades-old development problems, how will they additionally solve new challenges driven by climate change? This book illustrates how including community members in project design and co-management leads to long-lasting, successful achievement of development and adaptation goals. This field guide provides a system of building block activities for staff on the ground to use in developing and implementing successful adaptation to climate change projects that can be co-managed and sustained by communities. Based on years of use in 129 different countries, the techniques illustrated in this field guide use a step-by-step progression to lead readers through problem assessment, project design, implementation, and community take over. The book equips development staff with all the tools and techniques they need to improve current project effectiveness, to introduce community based adaptation into organizational programming and to generate new projects. The techniques provided can be applied to broad range of challenges, from agriculture and soil and water challenges, to health concerns, flood defences and market development. The book is supported by a user-friendly website updated by the author, where readers can download online resources for each chapter which they can tailor to their own specific projects. This practical guide is accessible to all levels of development staff and practitioners, as well as to students of development and environmental studies.
AI Strategies for Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Economic Development
While the 20th century saw massive successes in terms of industrialization, much of the world’s population was excluded from the spoils of these endeavors, and often directly exploited in their achievement. Simultaneously, the environmental impact of these practices has done irreparable harm to our world. Now nearly a quarter through the 21st century, we must ensure that the same mistakes are not repeated, and that we use recent technological developments such as artificial intelligence to more evenly distribute earnings and resources while also ensuring that our environment is protected. AI Strategies for Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Economic Development explores the intersection of inclusive innovation, artificial intelligence (AI) strategies, social entrepreneurship, and sustainable economic development. The book delves into how AI technologies can be leveraged to promote social inclusion, drive entrepreneurship, and foster sustainable economic growth in diverse contexts. This book contribute to the existing literature by providing insights into the potential of AI in advancing inclusive innovation and sustainable development. Offering practical strategies, case studies, and best practices, this book is an excellent resource for policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and students interested in the intersection of AI, social entrepreneurship, and economic development.
