Professor Li Yue, Climate Change Division, Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences "Climate Risk and Resilience in China manages to clearly communicate the complex Chinese context whilst showing how human development influences vulnerability, makes it a significant contribution to a fast-developing field of research. Its nuanced analysis provides the reader with much-needed insights into climate change adaptation in this important country."-Tor Håkon Jackson Inderberg, PhD, Senior Research Fellow and European Programme Director, The Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Oslo, Norway, and Editor-in-Chief for Climate Change Adaptation and Development: Changing Paradigms and Practices.
"Climate Risk and Resilience in China identifies and addresses many urgent issues in China's climate change adaptation policies at the provincial level. Based on comprehensive case studies, this book demonstrates to the readers that climate change, social-economic development and disaster risk reduction must be incorporated into policy planning processes and even more importantly, although more difficult, mainstreamed into practice." Professor Ye Qian, Executive Director Integrated Risk Governance Project/Future Earth Program, Beijing Normal University
