The aim of integrated regional assessment (IRA) is to promote a better understanding of-and more informed decisions on-how regions contribute, and respond, to global environmental change. Understanding the regional implications of global environmental change is important, because it is at regional levels that global environmental change mitigation must be practiced and that human impacts will be felt. This book provides both a detailed treatment of the methodological challenges of IRA and a set of international examples illustrating the practice and results of assessments at the regional scale.
