AbstractThis chapter critically assesses the integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction with a special focus on the Irish policy and governance context. The chapter first presents a comprehensive overview of the Irish policy environment for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction including its current level of integration. Analysis of alignment with global and regional drivers of integration is then considered. Next, drawing on empirical research conducted with multidisciplinary experts across the Republic of Ireland, the chapter employs the SHIELD model, developed by the EU-funded ESPREssO project, which outlines six pathways to enhance integration across the domains of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. The pathways comprise of sharing knowledge, harmonising capacities, institutionalising coordination, engaging stakeholders, leveraging investments and developing communication. Findings of stakeholder focus groups and survey responses highlight the challenges and opportunities for impactful integration between climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in Ireland from a practitioner perspective across the six SHIELD pathways. Finally, conclusions from the study indicate the importance of governance, management and coordination of systems for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction; the sequencing of policy-making, planning and research; and the significance of specificity in relation to use of the six SHIELD pathways.

The negative impact of tourism accommodation development, is environmental damage. Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 10 of 2009 on Tourism Article 26, requires owner to be responsible through environmental maintenance.Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies Article 74, requires each company to implement Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).The ministry of Environment itself summarizes the CSR on environment, such as Production Profit, Eco Office, Waste Management with 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), Conservation of Natural Resources and Energy, Renewable Energy, Climate Change Adaptation and Environmental Education.This research aimed to analyze the effectivity of CSR programs on environmental in fivestar hotels in Ubud Region, the factors that affect the program, and its development strategy. The research used descriptive quantitative method. The method of data collection using observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Data obtained was analyzed using descriptive qualitative method, complemented with IFAS (Internal Factor Analysis Summary), EFAS (External Factor Analysis Summary), and SWOT analysis.The result showed that implementation of CSR programs has not entirely been done effectively. From seven CSR programs, two programs have been categorized effective. Those two programs are Climate Change Adaptation and Environmental Education. However the program which has not run effectively is Production Profit, Eco Office, Waste Management with 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), Conservation of Natural Resources and Energy Renewable Energy. The main factor affecting CSR Program is organization, with score of 4.41. CSR implementation strategy, the manager continues the previous strategy that has been done. However, for the advancement of CSR programs is necessary needed revamping management, with concentration via vertical integration.

The main research subject is forming optimal local models of the architectural and technological intervention in rural areas of the Republic of Serbia, as a way of climate change adaptation, as well as their feasibility study on the West Pomoravlje area. Each region has its own unique features. Thus, in the territory of the Republic of Serbia can be defined zones with the same local characteristics, using the following criteria of physical and human geography: geo-physiognomic characteristics, climatic characteristics, economic development, and level of urbanity. These criteria are defined as the most important. They are the primary determinants for choosing the architectural and technological interventions within the local model as a way of climate change adaptation. The first part of research deals with the zoning of the Republic of Serbia and defining the zones with the same local characteristics. Atlas of villages, providing their current types and possible future models, will be created. The second part is based on the case study of one of the zones - West Pomoravlje zone. Villages and households within the zone will be analysed and sorted into the types and groups. Further research will be based on the examination of possibilities of transforming the existing villages into the eco-villages, mapping the most appropriate positions for new eco-villages and forming a potential eco-village network.

Climate change adaptation policies integration process adds a new dimension to spatial planning. National planning systems need to be reviewed for their capability to incorporate new procedures and implementation tools with a view to upgrading general efficacy of public response to climate change. The Spatial Plan of the Republic of Serbia (SPRS) adopted in October 2010 devotes special attention to issues of climate change, mitigation and particularly adaptation. This paper argues that regional level of governance is key to considering climate change vulnerability and setting a framework for specific actions on the local level. In the absence of the regional level, great responsibility is on the national planning level to lay out detailed guidelines and regulations as a guidance for spatial planning practice. What problems may be expected in the SPRS implementation with respect to climate change adaptation? How the adaptation policies adopted in the plan will be integrated into subordinate plans, regional and local? What limitations will the overall system face in policy harmonization? Although this brief paper cannot answer all of these questions, it will try to explain them and indicate the necessary transformations to the planning system to be discussed in the coming period.

The climate trends and climate scenario for the Republic of Serbia show a continuous increase in annual average temperature and change in precipitation patterns. In line with the forthcoming national program for adaptation to climate change, the objective of this research is a brief review of relevant decision support tools. For this purpose, 150 tools from three databases had been analyzed: 1) Climate-ADAPT, European Climate Change Adaptation Platform 2) United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Portal database and 3) U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit managed by the Climate Change Program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Tools are analyzed with respect to four criteria: adaptation aspect, spatial level, types and application.
