University Initiatives on Climate Change Education and Research

Climate change is one of the major challenges of modern times.Universities around the world are active in undertaking research projects and practical initiatives, and tackling climate change in teaching programmes.But even though there is a wealth of works in this field, not many initiatives are duly documented, or promoted.This state of affairs means that there is a paucity of specialist publications which systematically document and disseminate the wealth of initiatives taking place today.The book addresses this gap. By means of an integrated approach, which entails the work of climate change scientists on the one hand, and practitioners, educators, decision-makers and representatives of the civil sector on the other, who work together with representatives from the high education sector, this book addresses a perceived need for a specialist publication, which may act as a point of reference in guiding future efforts in the field of climate change mitigation and adaptation.Thanks to i
