Climate and development are closely interrelated, and yet climate is seldom considered explicitly in a development process. Here, five well-known authors review and analyse the interrelationships between climate and development. Specific emphasis is placed on the areas of agricultural and water resource development and health and the book concludes with a case study on the effect of climatic fluctuations on human populations in the Tigris-Euphrates lowland.
