Rural development is not merely a contribution to the growth of individual countries. It can be a way to reduce poverty and to increase access to water, health care, and education. Sustainable rural development can also help stop deforestation and reduce livestock, which generate most of the greenhouse gas emissions. However, efforts to achieve a sustainable rural development are often thwarted by floods, drought, heat waves, and hurricanes, which local communities are not very prepared to tackle. Agricultural practices and local planning are still not very risk-informed. These deficiencies are particularly acute in tropical regions, where many Least Developed Countries are located and where there is, however, great potential for rural development. This Special Issue contains 22 studies on best practices for risk awareness; on local risk reduction; on several cases of soil depletion, water pollution, and sustainable access to safe water; and on agronomy, earth sciences, ecology, economy, environmental engineering, geomatics, materials science, and spatial and regional planning in 12 tropical countries. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aclimate change 610 $acontingency plan 610 $aflood risk 610 $alocal development plan 610 $arisk management 610 $asustainable rural development 610 $aagricultural drought 610 $aheavy rains 610 $ahydrological drought 610 $ameteorological drought 610 $arisk assessment 610 $aSahel 610 $aearly warning 610 $ahydrology 610 $alocal communities 610 $aNiger river basin 610 $arural development 610 $adisaster risk reduction 610 $aofficial development assistance 610 $apublic participation 610 $arisk tracking 610 $aSendai framework 610 $asustainable development 610 $adataset validation 610 $aprecipitation 610 $aKenya 610 $alocal climate 610 $aASALs 610 $aQuantile Mapping 610 $aclimate services 610 $alocal drought risk reduction 610 $asmallholder farmers 610 $aagrometeorological forecast 610 $aNiger 610 $anatural resources 610 $aMauritania 610 $aresource management 610 $aregional planning 610 $aparticipatory approach 610 $aEO data 610 $awater resources 610 $asustainable management 610 $alocal development 610 $awater for food security 610 $abuilding consolidation 610 $aextreme precipitations 610 $aflood exposure 610 $asatellite remote sensing 610 $asettlement dynamics 610 $avulnerability 610 $aagriculture 610 $aNitrate runoff 610 $areal-time monitoring 610 $awater quality 610 $arural area 610 $ascant data 610 $anitrate contamination 610 $awater 610 $aflood 610 $aSinai Peninsula 610 $aflash flood 610 $aCORDEX 610 $awater harvesting 610 $aindigenous farmers 610 $amultinational corporations 610 $asystems thinking 610 $aNigeria 610 $asub-Saharan Africa 610 $adrought 610 $arainfall regime 610 $asoil biogeochemistry 610 $anatural disasters 610 $aflooding 610 $aflood vulnerability 610 $ainequality 610 $arisk premium 610 $aexpected annual damages 610 $acertainty equivalent annual damages 610 $aequity weight expected annual damages 610 $aequity weight certainty equivalent annual damage 610 $asoil erosion 610 $aGreat Rift Valley Lakes 610 $aASAL 610 $adesertification 610 $agroundwater resources 610 $afluoride 610 $amain Ethiopian Rift Valley 610 $adeveloping countries 610 $awelfare 610 $apanel probit model 610 $aadoption 610 $apropensity score matching 610 $awater crisis in Africa 610 $awater collection and retention systems 610 $asand dam 610 $amigration 610 $arisk communication 610 $avolcanic hazards 610 $asocial risk perception 610 $aresilience 610 $ademonstrator 610 $ascenario 610 $amulti-risk analysis 610 $aclimate-smart agriculture 610 $asocio-ecological systems 610 $aextension 610 $aBelize 610 $amilpa 610 $afood security 610 $asustainability 610 $aphotovoltaic energy 610 $adesalination system 610 $aSIDS 610 $aCO2 emissions 610 $aLCOW 610 $aLEOW 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aTiepolo$b Maurizio$4edt$0251155 702 $aTarchiani$b Vieri$4edt 702 $aPezzoli$b Alessandro$4edt 702 $aTiepolo$b Maurizio$4oth 702 $aTarchiani$b Vieri$4oth 702 $aPezzoli$b Alessandro$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557685403321 996 $aRisk-Informed Sustainable Development in the Rural Tropics$93030625 997 $aUNINA
