By analyzing susceptibility variables, developing comprehensive vulnerability indexes, and applying GIS techniques, the book‘s authors demonstrate the particular issues presented by climate change in the islands of the Pacific region, and how these issues may be managed to preserve and improve biodiversity and human livelihoods. .The book first introduces the issues specific to island communities, such as high emissions impacts, and discusses the importance of the lithological traits of Pacific islands and how these physical factors relate to climate change impacts. From here, the book aims to analyze the various vulnerabilities of different island sectors, and to formulate a susceptibility index from these variables to be used by government and planning agencies for relief prioritization. Such variables include tropical cyclones, built infrastructures, proximity to coastal areas, agriculture, fisheries and marine resources, groundwater availability, biodiversity, and economic impacts on industries such as tourism. | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Pacific island Countries (PICs); Island nation emissions; Pacific Island Lithology; Climate change susc | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-32878-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-32880-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-32878-8Series ISSN 2352-0698 Series E-ISSN 2352-0701 | | issn_series | 2352-0698 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
