Is climate adaptation possible through proper resource management?

This paper identifies and explores how land and water management will be impacted by long-term climate change in the less developed countries of the Himalayan and South East Asian (SEA) regions. The authors also review some of the many innovative efforts underway at local and regional levels to support land and water management initiatives and reduce poverty.
