The over-exploration of the earth’s resources has brought about an unsustainable situation when the biodiversity and ecological balance are under dire threat. But the most immediate concern is the global warming, caused by high anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The global warming is upsetting the climate pattern. The climate change is threatening the earth with severe drought and flood, storm and cyclone, rise in the sea level arising out of general warming of sea water and also by glacial and arctic ice melting, inundation of low coastal areas by the rising sea, disruption in the agricultural crop pattern, serious problem with regard to availability of fresh water, etc.
With the prescience of all these serious challenges facing the earth cataclysmically, the book attempts to engage the learned, the researchers, the graduate students, the social activists in the studies of the challenges of Environment, Energy and Water Resources and work for the mitigation of and adaptation with the global warming and climate change.
