In order to address these issues the authors examine them from a cross-disciplinary perspective, bringing in regional, local and urban standpoints to subsequently propose an alternative short-term economic model that could accelerate the adoption of climate change mitigation infrastructures and urban sustainability in urban areas.

This book discusses what it means for cities to work toward and achieve resilience in the face of climate change. The chapters for each case delve into the current status of the cities and issues resilience must overcome, and then explore solutions and key takeaways learned from the implementation of various resilience approaches.

This book presents new research on policy innovations that promote the development of the circular water economy. In contrast to the linear economy, the circular water economy promotes the reduction of water consumption, reuse of water, and recovery of resources from wastewater to not only increase resilience to climate change but also to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the provision of water and wastewater-related services. Providing a series of in-depth case studies of important locations in differing climates around the globe that have implemented a variety of policy innovations to develop the circular water economy, this book is a valuable resource for water and resource conservation managers, policymakers, international companies and organisations interested in the circular economy, environmental NGOs, researchers, as well as graduate and undergraduate students. · Systematically reviews policy innovations to develop the circularwater economy· Illustrates how leading locations from around the world have developed the circular water economy to increase resilience to climate change while reducing emissions · Provides ¿best practices¿ for other locations around the world aiming to implement the circular water economy

The effects of climate change are beginning to impact water quantity and water quality across the globe.

This book explores the link between climate change and resiliency on each continent of the world. Zolnikov brings together a set of experts to offer a novel perspective on understanding climate change vulnerability alongside adaption measures being implemented.

This book explores the concept of food system resilience and discusses how Greater Miami & the Beaches (GM&B), a collaboration formed in 2016 by Miami-Dade County, the City of Miami Beach and the City of Miami, is working towards creating a resilient food system for the 5.9 million people in its communities. The book discusses MiamiΓÇÖs challenges operating in a country and state that does not support climate adaptation and analyzes what Miami has been doing and what it still needs to do in response to environmental and social challenges, with the goal of providing food security. Lastly, the book examines case studies from other coastal cities to identify best practices and lessons learned.

In this book, climate change and digital transformation are explored as key strategic drivers for the contemporary practices of water utility companies.

Europe is typically thought to be well equipped for coping with the effects of a changing climate - because of its moderate climate, its manifold urban-industrialized regions, it's typically highly skilled population, its successes in science and technology and its advanced climate change policies.
