by A L Ramanathan (Editor), Chidambaram Sabarathinam (Editor), M.P. Jonathan (Editor)

Environmental Resilience and Transformation in Times of Climate Change Effects on Environmental Functionality is a timely reference to better understand environmental changes amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated lockdowns. The book is organized into five (1) environmental modifications, degradation, and human health risks; (2) water resources―planning, management, and governance; (3) air quality―monitoring, fate, transport, and drivers of socioenvironmental change; (4) marine and lacustrine environment; and (5) sustainable development goals and environmental justice. These themes provide an insight into the impact of COVID-19 on the environment and vice versa, which will help improve environmental management and planning, as well as influence future policies. Featuring many case studies from around the globe, this book offers a crucial examination of the intersectionality between climate, sustainability, the environment, and public health for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in environmental science.
