商品描述

This book provides an exploration of the geographic dimensions of climate change, focusing on both urban and rural perspectives. By examining the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in different environments, it offers a balanced and holistic approach to climate mitigation. It demonstrates how geographical analysis may guide and strengthen efforts to mitigate climate change by bringing together a variety of tactics, case studies, and research findings from around the world. The main topics covered include urban planning and climate resilience, rural land use and sustainability, the role of geographic information systems (GIS) in climate modeling, and the socio-economic impacts of climate policies. Special emphasis is placed on the interconnectedness of urban and rural ecosystems, recognizing that solutions in one domain can have ripple effects in the other. For instance, the book explores how rural land conservation can support urban carbon sequestration efforts, or how sustainable urban design can reduce the pressure on natural rural resources. These topics are crucial as the world faces environmental changes. Cities are responsible for the majority of global emissions, yet rural areas often suffer the consequences of climate impacts. Understanding the geographic factors influencing both regions is crucial to developing tailored, effective mitigation strategies. The book explores the innovative approaches, such as the use of nature-based solutions in urban areas or regenerative agriculture in rural settings, that offer promising routes for sustainable development. The problem addressed in this book is the lack of a unified geographic perspective on climate change mitigation. By discussing urban and rural strategies, it aims to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and inspire actionable solutions that answer to the needs of diverse communities. Climate change is a global issue, but its impacts and solutions are deeply localized; understanding these geographic issues is essential for policymakers, urban planners, landscape architects, environmental scientists, and community leaders. Targeted at academics, professionals, and policymakers involved in climate change, urban planning, landscape architecture, and environmental management, this book provides readers with the insights needed to create impactful, location-specific strategies for a more resilient and sustainable future.

這本書探討了氣候變遷的地理面向，重點關注城市和農村的觀點。通過檢視不同環境中出現的獨特挑戰和機會，它提供了一種平衡且全面的氣候緩解方法。書中展示了地理分析如何指導和加強氣候變遷的緩解努力，並結合了來自全球的各種策略、案例研究和研究結果。主要涵蓋的主題包括城市規劃與氣候韌性、農村土地使用與可持續性、地理資訊系統（GIS）在氣候建模中的角色，以及氣候政策的社會經濟影響。特別強調城市和農村生態系統的相互聯繫，認識到一個領域的解決方案可能對另一個領域產生連鎖反應。例如，書中探討了農村土地保護如何支持城市碳封存努力，或可持續的城市設計如何減少對自然農村資源的壓力。這些主題在全球面臨環境變化的情況下至關重要。城市負責全球大部分的排放，但農村地區往往承受氣候影響的後果。理解影響兩個地區的地理因素對於制定量身定制的有效緩解策略至關重要。書中探討了創新的方法，例如在城市地區使用基於自然的解決方案或在農村環境中實施再生農業，這些方法為可持續發展提供了有希望的途徑。本書所解決的問題是缺乏統一的地理視角來看待氣候變遷的緩解。通過討論城市和農村的策略，旨在鼓勵跨學科的合作，並激發能夠回應多元社區需求的可行解決方案。氣候變遷是一個全球性問題，但其影響和解決方案卻是深深地方化的；理解這些地理問題對於政策制定者、城市規劃者、景觀建築師、環境科學家和社區領袖至關重要。本書針對參與氣候變遷、城市規劃、景觀建築和環境管理的學者、專業人士和政策制定者，為讀者提供了創建有影響力的、針對特定地點的策略以實現更具韌性和可持續的未來所需的見解。
