Setting the scene: Adapting to climate change - a large-scale challenge with local-scale impacts (Salzmann) -- Adaptation, Adaptation Science, and the Status of Adaptation in Mountain Regions (McDowell) -- Science in the context of climate change adaptation - case studies from the Peruvian Andes (Orlowsky) -- Managing glacier related risks disaster in the Chucchún catchment, Cordillera Blanca, Peru (Muñoz) -- Climate Change Adaptation in the Carpathian Mountain Region (Werners) -- Community forest management as climate change adaptation measure in Nepal’s Himalaya (Rabin Raj) -- Ecosystem based adaptation (EbA) of African Mountain Ecosystems – Experiences from Mount Elgon, Uganda (Mumba) -- Vulnerability Assessments for Ecosystem based Adaptation: Lessons from the Nor Yauyos Cochas Landscape Reserve in Peru (Dourojeanni) -- The Role of Ecosystem-based Adaptation in the Swiss Mountains (Muccione) -- Community perceptions and responses to climate variability: Insights from the Himalayas (Pandit) -- Drought – in search of sustainable solutions to a persistent, ‘wicked’ problem in South Africa (Vogel) -- Making Climate Resilience a Private Sector Business: Insights from the agricultural sector in Nepal (Trabacchi) -- Shaping Climate Resilient Development – Economics of Climate Adaptation (Bresch) -- Building Resilience: World Bank Group Experience in Climate and Disaster Resilient Development (Kull) -- The science-policy dialogue for climate change adaptation in mountain regions (Kohler).

Climate change and the related adverse impacts are among the greatest challenges facing humankind during the coming decades. Even with a significant reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, it will be inevitable for societies to adapt to new climatic conditions and associated impacts and risks. This book offers insights to first experiences of developing and implementing adaptation measures, with a particular focus on mountain environments and the adjacent downstream areas. It provides a comprehensive ‘state-of-the-art’ of climate change adaptation in these areas through the collection and evaluation of knowledge from several local and regional case studies and by offering new expertise and insights at the global level. As such, the book is an important source for scientists, practitioners and decision makers alike, who are working in the field of climate change adaptation and towards sustainable development in the sense of the Paris Agreement and the Agenda 2030.
