Special issue of Climate Risk Management
The special issue, entitled ‘Climate Futures and Rural Livelihood Transformation in Eastern Indonesia’ reports a 4 year project in Nusa Tenggara Barat Province, Indonesia, conducted under the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade-CSIRO Research for Development Alliance in 2010-2014. With colleagues from the University of Mataram, we have written nine papers plus an editorial/synthesis, which describe the project’s approach, process, data, tools and evaluation. Each paper stands alone, but also links sequentially to other papers. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/22120963/12
