Interlocal Adaptations to Climate Change in East and Southeast Asia Sharing Lessons of Agriculture, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Resource Management

“This book complements existing global environmental governance research and elevates local expertise within east and south-east Asia with a conscious effort to share, build and expand on the existing knowledge. Not only does this edited volume make a valuable intellectual contribution, but it also provides a model for collaborative and team-based social science research, which can be replicated by others wishing to develop similar approaches.” (Devon Cantwell-Chavez, International Affairs, Vol. 99 (3), 2023)
