Working with the winds of change: towards strategies for responding to the risks associated with climate change and other hazards

Editors: Marcus Moench and Ajaya Dixit

This book provides initial insights from an ongoing ISET programme on disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change in South Asia. The study is being undertaken in the Nepal Tarai, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, coastal Tamilnadu and coastal Gujarat of India, and the Lai Basin and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan. The programme is financed by the International Development Research Center (IDRC), the U.K. Department for International Development (DFID) and the U.S. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). IDRC provided support for the field studies in Nepal and India. The support from the ProVention Consortium has helped in furthering the analysis and the development of this publication.
