Integrated Lagoon Fisheries Management

Resource Dynamics and Adaptation

By: Shimpei Iwasaki,Rajib Shaw

Lagoons are characterized by an essential quality of uncertainty for use in resource management: these are physically vulnerable to various influences from not only the environment but also the adjacent marine and terrestrial areas. This book presents a variety of lessons learned from case studies from Asian countries (India, Japan and Thailand).

Urban Disasters and Resilience in Asia

By: Rajib Shaw,Atta-ur-Rahman,Akhilesh Surjan,Gulsan Ara Parvin

Urban Disasters and Resilience in Asia presents the latest information on the intensity and frequency of disasters. Specifically, the fact that, in urban areas, more than 50% of the world's population is living on just 2% of the land surface, with most of these cities located in Asia and developing countries that have high vulnerability and intensification. The book offers an in-depth and multidisciplinary approach to reducing the impact of disasters by examining specific evidence from events in these areas that can be used to develop best practices and increase urban resilience worldwide. As urban resilience is largely a function of resilient and resourceful citizens, building cities which are more resilient internally and externally can lead to more productive economic returns. In an era of rapid urbanization and increasing disaster risks and vulnerabilities in Asian cities, Urban Disasters and Resilience in Asia is an invaluable tool for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners working in both public and private sectors. - Explores a broad range of aspects of disaster and urban resiliency, including environmental, economic, architectural, and engineering factors - Bridges the gap between urban resilience and rural areas and community building - Provides evidence-based data that can lead to improved disaster resiliency in urban Asia - Focuses on Asian cities, some of the most densely populated areas on the planet, where disasters are particularly devastating

The Indian Economy

Issues, Policies and Performance

By: Rajib Bhattacharyya,Ananya Ghosh Dastidar

This book provides a detailed structured analysis of the transition that has taken place in the Indian economy since independence to the present times (including the period of COVID-19 pandemic). Analysing objectives, achievements and failure of planning, the book discusses the crisis in the late 1980s, followed by economic reforms – structural changes and stabilization policies implemented along with regional variation on the development pattern across states. The book also examines policies of distribution, poverty, inequality, and unemployment, reform measures in major sectors, namely, banking or financial sector in general, tax or fiscal policy, external or trade and exchange rate policy. This volume will be useful for students, researchers and faculty working in the field of economics, development studies, political science and public administration. The book will also be an invaluable companion to policymakers looking for a thorough and compact view of the transition in the Indian economic situation and the resulting policy changes which took place since India’s independence.

Climate Crisis: Adaptive Approaches and Sustainability

By: Uday Chatterjee,Rajib Shaw,Suresh Kumar,Anu David Raj,Sandipan Das

This book aims to contribute to the discourse on climate crisis by bringing together high-quality empirical research on adaptive approaches and sustainability case studies from across the world. The book is divided into six sections. The introductory section has two chapters which sets the ground of the book as it discusses the framing of climate crisis and the different approaches towards it. It also situates the book within the global discourse. The first chapter seeks the traditional approaches to bridge the gap in the new climate science, while the second chapter delivers the ultimate reasons for temperature change, global warming and its consequences (extreme weather events) in a comprehensive way. It is hoped that the book as a whole will provide a timely synthesis of a rapidly growing and important field of climate science but will also bring forward new and stimulating ideas that will shape a coherent and fruitful vision for future work for the community of Undergraduates, Postgraduates, Ph.D. Scholars and Researchers in the fields of environmental sciences, humanistic and social sciences and geography. In addition, policy and decision makers, environmentalists, NGOs, corporate sectors, social scientists, and government organizations will find this book to be of great value. We believe that a diverse group of academics, scientists, geographers, environmentalists, environmental regulators, social scientists, and sustainable scientists with a common interest within the earth environmental sciences and humanistic and social sciences will find this book to be a comprehensive source for reference. Also, we strongly deemed that it will also provide some support for various levels of organizations and administrations for developing and achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 in purview of climate change.

Financing Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Services in a Development Context

Financing Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Services in a Development Context

Global Overview and African Regional Perspective

By: Rajib Shaw

To date, financing for Disaster Risks Reduction (DRR) and climate services remains very low and is provided by only a few countries and multilateral organizations. The focus is on a small number of major projects mostly concentrated in middle-income countries, and too many fragmented and uncoordinated operations. Recent estimates suggest that DRR financing over the last 20 years amounted to USD 13.5 billion (just 0.4 percent of the international development assistance), while funding for climate services in developing countries does not exceed USD 1.5 to 2.0 billion with an additional USD 400-500 million per year for operation and maintenance. Although financing is required, attracting resources for DRR and climate services is not an easy matter. This book presents an overview of financing for DRR and climate services in the context of the Post-Hyogo Framework of Action, the Post-2020 Climate Change regime and the Post-2015 development agenda. It also highlights the financing tools, opportunities and challenges for DRR and climate services, particularly in Africa, and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive and integrated financing mechanism.
