商品描述
This book provides a timely and comprehensive examination of how cyclones and environmental stresses are changing the socioeconomic structure of one of the most vulnerable deltaic areas in the world--evidence from the Indian Sundarbans. The intricate relationships between climate-related risks and human migration trends are examined in this book, which is based on thorough research, statistical analysis, and GIS technologies. From theoretical underpinnings and bibliometric evaluations to on-the-ground assessments of vulnerability, demographic transitions, and livelihood crises, the collection spans six in-depth chapters. In addition to mapping high-risk areas and suggesting practical policy actions suited to coastal resilience and adaptive capacity, it provides evidence-based insights into the factors that influence migration. This book, which is intended for academics, policymakers, and development practitioners, increases our understanding of climate migration and its policy importance. In the context of escalating climate catastrophes, it highlights the need to rethink migration as a deliberate adaptation approach influenced by vulnerability, agency, and resilience rather than as a failure.

本書及時且全面地探討了氣旋和環境壓力如何改變世界上最脆弱的三角洲地區之一的社會經濟結構——印度蘇丹班斯的證據。本書基於深入的研究、統計分析和地理資訊系統（GIS）技術，檢視了氣候相關風險與人類遷移趨勢之間的複雜關係。從理論基礎和文獻計量評估到對脆弱性、人口轉變和生計危機的實地評估，本書共分為六個深入的章節。除了繪製高風險區域並建議適合沿海韌性和適應能力的實用政策行動外，還提供了影響遷移的因素的基於證據的見解。本書旨在增進學術界、政策制定者和發展實踐者對氣候遷移及其政策重要性的理解。在氣候災難日益加劇的背景下，本書強調需要重新思考遷移作為一種有意的適應方法，這種方法受到脆弱性、主體性和韌性的影響，而不是視為一種失敗。
