Thisbookseries,entitled“IHDP/FutureEarth—IntegratedRiskGovernanceProject
Series” for the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environ-
mental Change—Integrated Risk Governance Project (IHDP/Future Earth—IRG
Project), is intended to present in monograph form the most recent scientific
achievements in the identification, evaluation and management of emerging global
large-scalerisks.FutureEarthisaflagshipinitiativeoftheScienceandTechnology
AllianceforGlobalSustainability.Itaimstoprovidecriticalknowledgerequiredfor
societies to understand and address challenges posed by global environmental
change (GEC) and to seize opportunities for transitions to global sustainability.
Future Earth identifies three research themes, i.e., Dynamic Planet, Global
Development and Transition toward Sustainability in its plan and adopts a new
approachof“Co-designingandco-producing”toincorporateGECresearcherswith
stakeholders in governments, industry and business, international or intergovern-
mental organizations, and civil society.
Books published in this series are mainly collected research works on theories,
methods, models and modeling, and case analyses conducted by scientists from
various disciplines and practitioners from various sectors under the IHDP/Future
Earth—IRG Project. It includes the IRG Project Science Plan, research on
social-ecological system responses, “Entry and Exit Transition” mechanisms,
models and modeling, early warning systems, understanding regional dynamics of
vulnerability, as well as case comparison studies of large-scale disasters and
paradigms for integrated risk governance around the world. This book series,
therefore,willbeofinterestnotonlytoresearchers,educatorsandstudentsworking
inthisfieldbutalsotopolicy-makersanddecision-makersingovernment,industry
and civil society around the world.
Theserieswillbecontributedbytheinternationalresearchteamsworkingonthe
six scientific themes identified by the IHDP/Future Earth—IRG Project science
plan, i.e., Social-Ecological Systems, Entry and Exit Transitions, Early Warning
Systems, Models and Modeling, Comparative Case Studies, and Governance and
Paradigms, and by six regional offices of the IRG Project around the world.
