Abstract To provide weather and climate-related services for disaster management, public policymaking, and adaptation and mitigation efforts, the information regarding climate change is of high importance. However, obtaining or analyzing climate change datasets has been a challenge for those unfamiliar with coding. Therefore, to make the datasets easier to obtain and work with, we develop a "Southeast Asia – Climate-Ocean web App" (SEA-COApp). The SEA-COApp is a web app to aid people in obtaining, analyze, or visualize ROM datasets in Southeast Asia. It can obtain chunks of data from the InaROMS server and visualize it with an intuitive graphical user interface. Furthermore, it also has functionalities to calculate climatology, area average, anomaly, and trends. The tool can help those who are unfamiliar with climate change datasets to be able to use the datasets for their research. Thus, promoting cross-disciplinary research.

Abstract Coastal ecosystems are linked to socio-economic development, but simultaneously, are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change and sea level rise (SLR). Within this scope, detailed topographic data resources of Spercheios River and Maliakos Gulf coastal area in Greece, combined with information concerning the economic value of the most important sectors of the area (wetland services, land property, infrastructure, income) were employed, so as to examine the impacts of three SLR scenarios, compiled based on the most recent regional projections reviewed. Based on the results, in the case of 0.3 m, 0.6 m and 1.0 m SLR, the terrestrial zone to be lost was estimated to be 6.2 km2, 18.9 km2 and 31.1 km2, respectively. For each scenario examined, wetlands comprise 68%, 41% and 39% of the total area lost, respectively, reflecting their sensitivity to even small SLR. The total economic impact of SLR was estimated to be 75.4 × 106 €, 161.7 × 106 € and 510.7 × 106 € for each scenario, respectively (3.5%, 7.5% and 23.7% of the gross domestic product of the area), 19%, 17% and 8% of which can be attributed to wetland loss. The consequences of SLR to the ecosystem services provided are indisputable, while adaptation and mitigation planning is required.

This chapter introduces the role of development as a self-interested policy pursued by industrialized states in an increasingly connected world. As such, it is differentiated from traditional geopolitical accounts of interactions between industrialized and developing states as well as from assertions that the increased focus on development stems from altruistic motivations. The concept of targeted development—pursuing development abroad when and where it serves the interests of the policymaking states—is introduced and defined. The issue areas covered in the book—foreign aid, trade agreements between industrialized and developing countries, and finance for climate change adaptation and mitigation—are introduced. The preference for bilateral, rather than multilateral, action is discussed.
