Climate risk and vulnerability: A handbook for Southern Africa (2nd ed.)978-0-620-76522-0https://www.csir.co.za/sites/default/files/Documents/SADC%20Handbook_Second%20Edition_full%20report.pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10204/10066Climate risk and vulnerability: A handbook for Southern Africa (2nd ed.)The handbook (Climate Risk and Vulnerability: A Handbook for Southern Africa) was conceived and designed with the intent to provide decision-makers with up-to-date information, appropriate for country planning, on the impacts and risks of climate change and variability. Reliable and accessible climate information is an important tool in responding to the impacts of climate change and the development of robust mitigation and adaptation strategies. The handbook translates the latest climate change information in a manner that is relevant to decisionmakers to build knowledge in the region. The handbook also serves as a reference guide for practitioners within the SADC member states who are currently engaged in impacts research and development of both mitigation and adaption policies and strategies. The content has been produced by a team that comprises climate scientists, social scientists with experience in impacts, vulnerability and adaptation, as well as communications experts.enClimate changeSouthern AfricaRiskVulnerabilityAdaptationResilienceMitigationClimate variabilityDecision-makingBookDavis, C.
