Call for Papers: Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation


    Call for Papers: Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation

    The International Climate Change Information Programme (ICCIP) - in cooperation with Springer - is  preparing a landmark, multi-volume reference work  titled the Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation. This is an addition to the series “Climate Change Management” which, since it was launched in 2008,  has become
    the world´s leading book series on the topic: http://www.springer.com/series/8740
    The Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation  will provide a concrete  contribution towards addressing the perceived need for high-quality, interdisciplinary papers,
    which can be used not only as a valuable information source but also as tools to support teaching and research and, as an added value, help to assist in  decision-making. The Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation focuses in one of the key aspects of climate change: adaptation and how to handle its impacts on physical, biotic and human systems, including social and normative scientific concerns, coupled  with the tools, approaches and methods aimed at the management of these effects and impacts.

    Although the  Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation is on the one hand grounded in the best science and meets the highest scientific standards, it aims on the other hand as far as possible to be inclusive methodologically, and be practice-based. It will also be fully international in its coverage and authorship, as befits a topic of such importance to humankind.

    The  Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation is structured around 4 volumes:

    Volume 1. Climate Change Impacts and Management                              
    Volume 2. Policy and Climate Change                                       
    Volume 3.  Climate Change Adaptation, Agriculture  and Water Security                                        
    Volume 4. Climate Change  Adaptation Technologies                             

    A set of cross-cutting issues will be included, such as the socio-economics of climate change, resilience, economics, trade, growth, development, justice, poverty, health, populations, security, international politics, the UN process,  democracy, education, information and communication. The Millenium Development Goals also represent a major element to be considered. Due to its scope, approach and global impact, this is probably one of the most significant book projects in the field of climate change of this Decade. 

    Abstracts from suitable qualified researchers are now being invited. The deadline for submissions is the 30th March 2013. Details on the schedule and structure will be discussed with interested colleagues. Expressions  of interest should be sent to ICCIP at:  info@iccip.net or beids@beids.de.

Zibambwe: Mnangagwa’s wealth, has allegedly been supplemented by illicit mine deals in the DRCCongo.

Reputedly ‘Zimbabwe’s richest’ man. Zanu-PF heir-in-waiting Emmerson Mnangagwa was a few years ago described as ‘Zimbabwe’s richest man’ by Wikileaks cables written by a US ambassador in 2001. The cables, however, shied away from estimating his wealth in numbers. “Regarded as the wealthiest individual in Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa has close business links with Colonel Lionel Dyck, a white officer from the old Rhodesian army who founded Mine Tech, a landmine clearance company that secured lucrative contracts from the Zimbabwean government to clear landmines in Zimbabwe border areas after the war,” Wikipedia said in a post updated after Mnangagwa was appointed vice-president in December 2014. Various sources, including Zimbabwean and UK media outlets, allege Mnangagwa made much of his money while he was secretary for finance in Zanu-PF. This, according to the the United Nations Security Council reports in 2002 and 2003, was supplemented by his involvement as one of the illegal mi

Kenya: Kwale Titanium Mine was to be launched in 2013

Australian diversified junior miner, Base Resources Ltd.'s titanium unit in Kenya aims to start mining in 2013, ending years of uncertainty over the project, a company official said on Monday. Joe Schwarz, the general manager of Base Titanium, said in a telephone interview he expected the ongoing feasibility study at the project to be concluded by early 2011, and an estimated $200 million to be raised next year to kickstart the mine. The project on Kenya's sweltering Indian Ocean coast has been held up for years by delays including demonstrations by environmental groups, disputes with local farmers over compensation for land and drawn out talks with the government. Schwarz said so far Base Titanium had yet to sign agreements with buyers of its minerals, but said the exports would likely be destined to China, U.S. and Europe.  "Once we have the green light on the final investment decision, building the plant will take 18-21 months and we would be able to start pro
