Geographic Approaches to Climate Change and Mitigation: Urban and Rural Perspectives (Volume 2)
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-92114-8 (ISBN)
This book provides an exploration of innovative geographic approaches to address the challenges posed by climate change, focusing on solutions across urban and rural contexts. Offering actionable insights, it bridges diverse disciplines to highlight practical strategies and evidence-based policies for a more sustainable and resilient future. The volume is organized into key themes that address global issues: sustainable governmental policies, urban planning, rural land use practices, transportation systems, food security, heritage conservation, and the socio-environmental impacts of climate change. From implementing nature-based solutions in African cities to reforestation practices in rural landscapes, and from reducing meat consumption to preserving cultural heritage at risk from rising sea levels, each chapter provides real-world case studies and forward-thinking strategies. The book addresses the importance of integrating diverse perspectives, emphasizing the need for cohesive policies and innovative solutions to mitigate climate impacts while fostering sustainable development. Topics like participatory democracy in climate action, the nexus between tourism and the environment, and leveraging shared electric vehicles for transit sustainability illustrate the multifaceted approach required to tackle global challenges. By examining methodologies such as fuzzy logic for territorial planning, innovative urban design for sustainable education environments, and advanced logistics for freight transportation, the book sets out to solve complex problems related to resource management, community resilience, and climate adaptation. It also sheds light on the socioeconomic and cultural dimensions of climate change, underscoring the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and global action.
