On the Frontiers of Climate and Environmental Change
Author: Ole BruunPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642358047
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This book is intended to fill a gap in climate-change literature by providing a comprehensive regional study and identifying the overall adaptation challenges in a real-life context. The way in which possible climate impacts interact with a range of other challenges in agriculture, forestry, disaster planning, health care, general economic development, and common livelihoods are presented, and it is argued that greater realism and broader vision are needed in order to address the climate challenge. For instance, unsuitable land- use changes in both coastal and highland regions may increase the vulnerability of rural people, many of whom are already living on the fringes. The author(s) also state(s) that, depending on context, it may be pertinent to address short-term and unsustainable resource use, irregularities in local land management, ineffective governance and social inequality, which are all likely to aggravate the impact of external climate and weather. Not least, it is imperative to integrate general environmental management with any climate-change adaptation effort.
Redefining Diversity and Dynamics of Natural Resources Management in Asia, Volume 2
Author: Ganesh ShivakotiPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128104724
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Redefining Diversity and Dynamics of Natural Resources Management in Southeast Asia, Volumes 1-4 brings together scientific research and policy issues across various topographical areas in Asia to provide a comprehensive overview of the issues facing the region. Upland Natural Resources and Social Ecological Systems in Northern Vietnam, Volume 2, provides chapters on natural resource management in northern Vietnam tied together by the concept that participatory local involvement is needed in all aspects of natural resource management. The volume examines planning for climate change, managing forestland, alleviating food shortages, living with biodiversity, and assessing the development projects and policies being implemented. Without the involvement of local communities, households, and ultimately individual people, the needed action will not be effectively taken. Upland Natural Resources and Social Ecological Systems in Northern Vietnam, Volume 2, goes beyond just Northern Vietnam to address the issue of transboundary natural resource management—an issue that Vietnam is dealing with in its relations with northern neighbor, China, and western neighbor, Laos—as well as the transboundary water governance between Pakistan and India in south Asia, with the hope that some of the lessons learned may one day be useful in the case of Vietnam and its neighbors. - Provides a multi-disciplinary case study into a complex environmental situation involving government institutions, planning, and practices, using northern Vietnam as the focus - Covers the issues of natural resource management and biodiversity in depth using international case studies - Provides examples of measuring the potential climate change impacts on food security in agricultural regions - Examines topics such as planning for climate change, managing forestland, alleviating food shortages, living with biodiversity, and assessing development projects and policies
Deforestation in Viet Nam
Author: Rodolphe de KoninckPublisher: IDRC
ISBN: 0889368694
Category : Deforestation
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
This publication begins with an overview of the nature and magnitude of the deforestation problem in south-east Asia and the related problem of loss of biodiversity. Chapter 2 discusses the specific case of deforestation in Viet Nam and the possible factors involved. Chapter 3 describes the implementation of a research project on the fundamental and instrumental causes of that deforestation, with the hypothesis that agricultural expansion is the central instrument of deforestation in that country. This is followed by presentation of the results of the research, which focused on two provinces (Tuyen Quang and Lam Dong). Results presented and discussed include changes in land use, changes in population and its distribution, expansion of settlement, the impact of firewood collection and commercial logging, agricultural impacts, and changes in biodiversity. The final chapter discusses the magnitude of the challenge of deforestation in Viet Nam and suggests directions for further research.

ISBN: 9792446524
Category : Reforestation
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
This report assesses the experiences of forest rehabilitation in Vietnam and draws strategic lessons from these experiences to guide new forest rehabilitation projects. The report highlights lessons from Vietnam's experiences that will be helpful beyond the country border. This report has the following structure: the remainder of chpater one provides the conceptual clarification and theoritical underpinnings for the study and introduces the methodology. Chapter two provides background information and context for the outcomes of forest rehabilitation in Vietnam, including basic information on Vietnam, its forest cover, forestry sector and policies that are relevant to forestry and forest rehabilitation. Chapter three gives an overview of forest rehabilitation in Vietnam from its inception in the 1950s until today, as the country carries out its latest nationwide forest rehabilitation effort, the 5 million hectares reforestation project. Chapter four analyses in detail forest rehabilitation project that were analysed in the field study carried out as part of this study. Chapter five draws lessons from the report.
