This book identifies and provides reasoning for computed methods of
local climate dynamics and the livelihood vulnerability indices
assessment in the mountainous region of Himachal Pradesh, India. The
outcomes of this study agree with the focused objectives on simulating
climate change and its impact on livelihood security. It deals with
several crucial methodologies to analyze livelihood security with and
without climate change. The explorative deductive approach was used to
observe climatic changes since the 1970s and simulated the climate
until 2080. Additionally, the composite livelihood vulnerability index
(LVI) without climate change and the climate change livelihood
vulnerability index (CCLVI) with climate change impact were prepared.
The book is beneficial for policymakers who are involved in framing
and implementing policies chiefly in the Himalaya. It is also valuable
for all stakeholders in society: students, researchers and
academicians. It proposes discussions and debate on a new, integrated,
inclusive and open approach to climate change and validates the
significance of geographic knowledge in addressing climate change
issues at various levels, suggesting policy measures to cope with
them.
