International Migrants Day 2024 Symposium
Author:
The presentation examines the need for a paradigm shift from traditional national security to one that incorporates climate security as a fundamental component of human security. The study, based on field research in Sri Lanka, investigates how National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) can be restructured to explicitly address climate security concerns...

Improving Mangrove Height and Above‐Ground Biomass Estimates in Small Island Developing States Using Multi‐Sensor Satellite Data: Case Study of Mauritius

Asia Conference on Environment and Sustainable Development
Author:
National‐scale monitoring of mangrove forests, including their spatial structure (e.g., canopy height and above‐ground biomass), is necessary for the implementation of global agreements related to climate change and biodiversity conservation. Field measurements of mangrove structural parameters, however, are costly to collect. Here, we investigated...

Addressing Transboundary Climate Risks (TCRs) for the Food Security of Countries

17th RACC 2025 STS Forum Kyoto Japan
Author:
National adaptation plans (NAPs) in general and in Asia in particular often focus primarily on domestic climate risks, but the increasing significance of transboundary climate impacts calls for a broader, interconnected perspective. For example, disruptions in agricultural production in food-exporting countries, such as India, caused by climate...
