Climate Impacts and Resilience in the Developing World

Dear Colleagues,

The people and ecologies of the developing world are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change arising both from global greenhouse gas emissions and from regional aerosol emissions and land use and management practices. This Special Issue welcomes innovative approaches to support human development, sustainability, resilience (including health, nutrition, and gender equity), maintenance of biological diversity, ecosystem services, and rural livelihood. Of interest are original investigations of climate science focusing on the impacts of climate change and effectiveness of adaptation methods, and also review papers and integrations of science, policy, and action for broad-based, sustainable improvements in living standards of farmers, herders, and rural people, as well as of urban and periurban populations.

This special issue is associated with the "International Conference on Biodiversity, Climate Change Assessment, and Impacts on LIvelihood"(http://icbcl17.org), 10-12 January 2017, Kathmandu, Nepal, and with the "International Conference on Technological Advances in Climate-Smart Agriculture and Sustainability"(http://www.tacsas.org/), 16-18 January 2017, Nanded, MS, India.
