商品描述

This book offers a comprehensive examination of nature-based solutions (NbS) as sustainable, cost-effective, and community-centered approaches to tackling environmental and socio-economic challenges in India's vulnerable delta regions. Focusing on key ecosystems such as the Ganga-Brahmaputra, Mahanadi, Krishna-Godavari, and Cauvery deltas, it highlights how integrating natural processes into planning and policy can enhance climate resilience, restore ecological integrity, and support local livelihoods.

India's deltaic zones are ecological hotspots and home to millions, yet they are increasingly threatened by climate change, sea-level rise, urban expansion, and unsustainable land use. Through applied research, case studies, and policy analysis, this book illustrates how nature-based strategies - such as mangrove restoration, wetland conservation, river rehabilitation, and sustainable agriculture - can reduce disaster risk, improve water security, and protect biodiversity.

Key themes include the science and implementation of NbS, delta-specific climate vulnerabilities, ecosystem services, participatory planning, climate finance, and governance mechanisms. The book also addresses the role of indigenous and local knowledge, urban delta challenges, and pathways for mainstreaming NbS into national and sub-national policy frameworks. With contributions from experts across academia, government, and international development, it combines theoretical insight with practical guidance.

By weaving interdisciplinary perspectives with grounded examples from Indian deltas, this book not only informs but also encourages action toward adaptive, inclusive, and ecologically sound development.

This book is essential reading for students, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and NGOs working in climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction, environmental planning, and sustainable development.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書全面探討以自然為基礎的解決方案（NbS），作為應對印度脆弱三角洲地區環境和社會經濟挑戰的可持續、具成本效益且以社區為中心的方法。重點關注如恆河-布拉馬普特拉河、馬哈納迪河、克里希納-戈達瓦里河和卡維河三角洲等關鍵生態系統，強調將自然過程整合進規劃和政策中，如何增強氣候韌性、恢復生態完整性並支持當地生計。

印度的三角洲區域是生態熱點，居住著數百萬人，但它們正受到氣候變遷、海平面上升、城市擴張和不可持續土地使用的日益威脅。通過應用研究、案例研究和政策分析，本書說明了以自然為基礎的策略——如紅樹林恢復、濕地保護、河流修復和可持續農業——如何降低災害風險、改善水資源安全並保護生物多樣性。

主要主題包括NbS的科學與實施、特定三角洲的氣候脆弱性、生態系統服務、參與式規劃、氣候金融和治理機制。本書還探討了本土和地方知識的角色、城市三角洲挑戰以及將NbS納入國家和次國家政策框架的途徑。書中匯集了來自學術界、政府和國際發展領域的專家貢獻，結合理論見解與實務指導。

通過將跨學科的觀點與印度三角洲的具體例子相結合，本書不僅提供資訊，還鼓勵朝向適應性、包容性和生態合理的發展行動。

本書是氣候適應、災害風險減少、環境規劃和可持續發展領域的學生、研究人員、政策制定者、實務工作者和非政府組織的重要讀物。
