Climate Change, Socy & Sustainable Devp Book Description About the Book : One of the topics doing the rounds in today’s social circles is environment change ? global warming, climate change, rising temperatures, and what-not ? but how many of us are exactly aware of what’s happening out there and how grim the situation is? The second question is whether we, as citizens of the world, can do anything about this problem which has developed monstrous proportions. Climate Change, Society & Sustainable Development: Agenda for Action talks about human-induced environmental degradation, changing weather patterns, rise in sea level and the effect that it has had and will have on mankind. And the authors have also shed light on solutions and the steps that can be taken to arrest the alarming situation. While we cannot take all measures as ordinary citizens ? the government has to initiate certain projects ? we should do our bit such as resorting to solar energy, proper utilization of electricity, reducing carbon imprints, using energy-efficient gadgets, etc. There is much to be done if we genuinely care for our unborn descendants. Tables, graphs and pie charts add weight to the written matter. List of references have also been given where necessary. Written by eminent scientists, each leading in their respective fields, this book is a reality check on the current situation of the Earth from the perspective of climate change, need for wetlands conservation and sustainable food security.
