Summary:

"Southeast Asia is a booming region which is nevertheless among the most vulnerable to climate change. This book assesses how Southeast Asian countries – from the wealthiest to the poorest – are adapting to meet climate change challenges across several key sectors: agriculture and fisheries, conservation, energy, health, and migration. In the broad context of the global system, it celebrates some of the region's remarkable successes, whilst also examining serious adaptive issues. Through a political economy lens, the author describes growing private-sector control over adaptations, shining a light on who benefits and loses from these systems. He untangles the complex interconnectedness of different sectors, examining how adaptations to one can undermine progress in others. This sharply focused volume is a vital reference on a rising global issue for graduate students and researchers, and offers invaluable lessons for policymakers in countries around the world that share similar development challenges"-- Cambridge Core
