Research presented here focuses on three different agro-climatic areas of West Bengal, namely the coastal Sundarban, the drought-prone region and the mountainous region. Readers will discover the main climate induced vulnerabilities that affect livelihoods of forest communities, understand how to evaluate the expected impacts of climate change at different levels under different climate change scenarios, and be able to assess and measure the implied major social, environmental and economic impacts. Particular attention is also given to the role of the Indian governmental policy (including national forest policy of 1988) to reduce climate-related vulnerabilities. Chapters also highlight two main approaches to vulnerability assessment in socio-ecological systems. The first is the impact-based approach, which assesses the potential impacts of climate change on forest dependent people. The second is the vulnerability-based approach, which assesses social sensitivity and adaptive capacity to respond to stresses. Development practitioners, government implementing agencies, and researchers in environmental science and policy will find this book appealing. . 000780456 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 4, 2017). 000780456 650_0 $$aClimatic changes$$zIndia$$zWest Bengal. 000780456 650_0 $$aClimatic changes$$xEconomic aspects$$zIndia$$zWest Bengal. 000780456 650_0 $$aHuman beings$$xEffect of climate on$$zIndia$$zWest Bengal. 000780456 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBasu, Jyotish Prakash$$tClimate Change Adaptation and Forest Dependent Communities : An Analytical Perspective of Different Agro-Climatic Regions of West Bengal, India$$dCham : Springer International Publishing,c2017$$z9783319523248 000780456 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in environmental science. 000780456 852__ $$bebk 000780456 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-52325-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000780456 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:780456$$pGLOBAL_SET 000780456 980__ $$aEBOOK 000780456 980__ $$aBIB 000780456 982__ $$aEbook 000780456 983__ $$aOnline 000780456 994__ $$a92$$bISE
