    Abstract : I takt med att Uppsalas utvecklingsområde Södra staden expanderas, minskar stadens grönområden och permeabla ytor för dagvattnet att infiltrera. Detta leder både till en förlust av biologisk mångfald, ekologiska spridningsvägar och en större belastning på Bäcklösas avrinningsområde som täcker stora delar av Södra staden. READ MORE

  5. 4. TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN AGRICULTURE FOR ADAPTATION/ RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE: HIGH MOUNTAIN ASIA

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Dulani Lavanya Samarasekara Witharana; [2023-06-22]
    Keywords : climate change adaptation; resilient agroecosystems; Hindu Kush Himalaya; indigenous knowledge; traditional farming; traditional ecological knowledge;

    Abstract : Mountain agricultural systems in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) are in a unique position to contribute to promoting nature-based solutions in adaptation and resilience to climate change since they are least impacted by the influence of commercial high-production agriculture. This study aims to explore currently available literature for evidence of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) based agriculture in the HKH region and analyse their contribution to region and location specific climate change adaptation.
