Book Description
Many Eastern European and Former Soviet Union countries have been facing warmer temperatures and a changing hydrology, with more droughts, floods, heat waves, windstorms, and forest fires. This vulnerability is driven mainly by an adaptation deficit due to socioeconomic factors and a Soviet legacy of environmental mismanagement.
