Book Hero thinking about your next read

The Paris Framework for Climate Change Capacity Building aims to fill a gap in the literature by unearthing the ineffective and unsustainable practices of capacity building by bilateral and multilateral agencies in developing countries in the last decade, the gaps and lacunae in those processes, and the way forward.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Paris Framework for Climate Change Capacity Building pioneers a new era of climate change governance, performing the foundational job of clarifying what is meant by the often ad-hoc, one-off, uncoordinated, ineffective and unsustainable practices of the past decade described as 'capacity building' to address climate change.

As an alternative, this book presents a framework on how to build effective and sustainable capacity systems to meaningfully tackle this long-term problem. Such a reframing of capacity building itself requires means of implementation.

The authors combine their decades-long experiences in climate negotiations, developing climate solutions, climate activism and peer-reviewed research to chart a realistic roadmap for the implementation of this alternative framework for capacity building.

As a result, this book convincingly makes the case that universities, as the highest and sustainable seats of learning and research in the developing countries, should be the central hub of capacity building there.

This will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and policy-makers in the areas of climate change and environmental studies.
