"The papers in this volume span a suite of climate change repercussions, paying particular attention to national security and human health aspects. It is an outcome of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held during April 28-30, 2011 in Dubrovnik, Croatia, sponsored by the NATO Science for Peace and Security Program. "

"Severe droughts, damaging floods and mass migration, climate change is becoming a focal point for security and conflict research and a challenge for the world’s governance structures. But how severe are the security risks and conflict potentials of climate change? Could global warming trigger a sequence of events leading to economic decline, social unrest and political instability? What are the causal relationships between resource scarcity and violent conflict? This book brings together international experts to explore these questions using in-depth case studies from around the world. Furthermore, the authors discuss strategies, institutions and cooperative approaches to stabilize the climate-society interaction."

"]Dampak negatif perubahan iklim telah menimbulkan berbagai masalah bagiIndonesia yang sangat rentan terhadap perubahan global. Alasan utama perubahaniklim adalah kegiatan manusia sejak era industrialisasi yang meliputi penggunaanbahan bakar fosil, penebangan hutan dan pertanian. Emisi gas rumah kaca daripenggunaan bahan bakar fosil merupakan 70% dari total emisi karbondioksida,metan, dan dinitrooksida. Tulisan ini membahas perubahan iklim di Indonesia, halyang perlu dilakukan untuk menanggulanginya, serta peran Indonesia dalamkebijakan pembahan iklim global. Pembahasannya mencakup kelahanan energi, sertapenanggulangan dampak ekonomi dan lingkungan hidup."

"ABSTRAKTerumbu karang merupakan salah satu ekosistem perairan dangkal yang memiliki peran sangat penting untuk kehidupan biota laut, dan juga memiliki berbagai macam fungsi untuk manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kondisi degradasi terumbu karang di Taman Nasional Bunaken, dan menganalisis pola keterpaparan terumbu karang terhadap perubahan iklim, serta hubungan antara keduanya. Perubahan iklim pada konteks penelitian ini adalah berdasarkan variabel oseanografi yakni suhu permukaan air laut, salinitas air laut, dan tingkat keasaman air laut. Pada dasarnya, metode analisis yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah dengan analisis meta-descriptive untuk menentukan penilaian keterpaparan, analisis spasial-deskriptif untuk mengkaitkan antara perubahan iklim dan kondisi terumbu karang. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah, kondisi degradasi terumbu karang dari tahun 2002 hingga tahun 2013 mengalami penurunan luas wilayah, namun kondisi terumbu karang yang terdegradasi mengalami peningkatan luas wilayah kembali pada tahun 2017. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dari kondisi terumbu karang dan keterpaparannya terhadap perubahan iklim, ada kaitan yang nyata antara keduanya. Hasil analisis antara kondisi El Nino, dan La-Nina dapat menunjukkan ada kaitannya dengan kondisi terumbu karang yang ada, namun tidak terdapat ada hasil yang signifikan dari peta keterpaparan terumbu karang terhadap perubahan ikliM.

ABSTRACTCoral reef is one of many shallow water ecosystems that have a very important role for the marine life, and have different purposes and functions for the well being of human. The purpose of this study is to analyse the degradation pattern of the coral reefs and its exposure towards climate change, and its relation between those two. Climate change in the context of this study is based on oceanographic variables such as sea surface temperature, sea water salinity, and acidity levels of sea water. Basically, the methods that are used in this study is through meta descriptive analysis to determine the exposure of the coral reefs, spatial descriptive analysis to relate between climate change and coral reef conditions. The results showed that the degradation conditions of coral reefs from 2002 to 2013 have decreased, but the condition of the degraded coral reefs has increased by 2017. Based on the analysis of the conditions of the exposure and coral reefs show that, there is a correlation between the two. The analysis El Nino, and La Nina conditions can indicate that there is a connection with the condition of the coral reefs. "

""While most of us live our lives according to the working week, we did not evolve to be bound by industrial schedules, nor did the food we eat. Despite this, we eat the products of industrialization and often suffer as a consequence. This book considers aspects of changing human nutrition from evolutionary and social perspectives. It considers what a 'natural' human diet might be, how it has been shaped across evolutionary time and how we have adapted to changing food availability. The transition from hunter-gatherer and the rise of agriculture through to the industrialisation and globalisation of diet are explored. Far from being adapted to a 'Stone Age' diet, humans can consume a vast range of foodstuffs. However, being able to eat anything does not mean that we should eat everything, and therefore engagement with the evolutionary underpinnings of diet and factors influencing it are key to better public health practice"-- "

"This volume covers various aspects of the regulation of sulfate uptake and assimilation in plants, from a cellular to a whole plant level, and additionally emphasizes interactions with other minerals. Moreover the significance of sulfur metabolism in biotic and abiotic stress responses, in food security and quality, and in relation to interactions with global change factors is discussed in detail."

"This book explores the implications of urbanization and climate change for peri-urban water security in South Asia. Focusing on four locations in the region, namely Kathmandu (Nepal), Khulna (Bangladesh), and Hyderabad and Gurgaon (India), the book describes how climate change and urbanization shape peri-urban water security. The research documents the socio-technical mediation of water insecurity, describing both technological and institutional adaptive responses. In describing adaptation, the focus is both on planned and autonomous adaptation. The book further documents the differential vulnerabilities of peri-urban communities, describing the factors that disadvantage certain men, women, and groups of people as compared to others. With a focus on peri-urban contexts, the book bridges an important gap in current studies of adaptation and vulnerability to the impacts of climate change that tend to focus on purely agrarian or urban contexts. It thus contributes to the emerging body of work on peri-urban issues as well as to the literature on vulnerability and adaptation. The research presented is interdisciplinary in nature, employing a wide range of research tools and methods across the natural and social sciences."
