Produktbeschreibung

Indonesia is known for its richness of biodiversity and high endemism of flora and fauna, attributed to its archipelagic geographical condition and the vast arrays of forest area. With more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world. Unfortunately, because of the high rate of deforestation, peat land degradation and forest fires, this country is one of the highest greenhouse gas emitters in the world. Similar problems are also seen in the other Southeast Asian countries. Climate change has now become a common global concern and is accounted to be one of the key developmental issues in many of the developing countries in the tropics. Global climate change might affect the biodiversity, but conversely preserving biodiversity may reduce the ongoing process of climate change. This German Alumni Summer School was aimed at addressing the issues concerning the impacts of climate change on the biodiversity in Southeast Asia and examining the potential strategies for its mitigation.
