Abstract Climate change causes hydrometeorological disasters in Indonesia more frequently happen. One of them is drought. Drought reduces water availability and decreases agricultural production. It necessary to select soil conservation techniques according the level vulnerability mitigate losses. We researched Capluk Watershed which often experiencing The watershed located on Northern Coast Ja...

background: the effects of aqueous extract of fadogia agrestis stem at the doses of 18, 36, and 72 mg/kg body weight on alloxan-induced toxicity was investigated in wistar rats. methods: in total, 35 rats of both sexes (132.80±7.22g) were randomized into five groups (a-e): animals in group a received 0.5 ml of distilled water orally on daily basis for 15 days while the alloxanized rats in group...

Abstract Climate-related disasters increasingly threaten over one-third of the global population, specifical communities within 100 km coastal zones. Indonesia, world’s largest archipelago with second-longest coastline, faces tidal (Rob) flooding from high tides, land subsidence, and sea-level rise. This study assess fish farmers’ vulnerability to Rob in Java’s Indramayu District. Our Social Vu...

The islands of the Caribbean are a particularly interesting geographical region to examine the dynamic relationship between past human communities and sudden environmental change. This chapter examines how past peoples, living on the islands in the Caribbean Sea, were vulnerable to a number of environmental threats. The focus of this chapter is the impact of floods, droughts, and wind shear cre...

Governments and donors are investing in climate compatible development in order to reduce climate and development vulnerabilities. However, the rate at which climate compatible development is being operationalised has outpaced academic enquiry into the concept. Interventions aiming to achieve climate compatible development "wins" (for development, mitigation, adaptation) can also create negativ...
