Framework for evaluating rural ecosystem restoration programs in Asia

Climate-induced disasters, such as droughts and floods, have a significant impact on rural areas across Asia, where local livelihoods inherently depend on ecosystem services, necessitating effective and context-specific strategies for building resilience. Ecosystem restoration (ER), a process involving human-assisted recovery of degraded ecosystems, has been widely implemented but insufficiently evaluated, particularly regarding its socioeconomic impacts....

Climate change adaptation in disaster-prone communities in Cambodia and Fiji

This article examines how rural communities living in flood-prone river basins of Cambodia and Fiji have responded to increasing variability of floods and other natural hazards under the influence of climate change and other risk factors. Particular emphasis is placed on risk perceptions and adaptive strategies of households and communities with regard to regular and...
