About this product
Product Information
Climate change is a profoundly social and political challenge. Through a globally diverse set of community-based examples, People and Climate Change questions why some groups are more vulnerable to the social and economic consequences of climate change than others, and what can be done about it through more participatory policymaking and interventions.

Reviews
"The volume examines the global North, the global South, and First Nations. The 11 essays are organized into three sections: "Weather," "Land," and "Comparisons" (between vulnerable communities and countries). Each contribution is guided by sixÃ,carefully crafted questions addressing vulnerability, adaptation, and social justice. The collection's key argument is that the vulnerabilities of communities and countries are either inherited from the past or produced and reproduced by policy decisions, causing an uneven distribution of resources for them to adapt to the changing climate and mitigate its impact. In sum,People and Climate Change is a theoretically dense, empirically rich account of climate change and its varying impacts on communities and countries. Making an invaluable contribution to the literature on disaster studies, this collection will interest students of social work, geography, planning, and environmental studies." -- T.

Real people inhabit this book in the richness of their histories and situations. Real climate impacts affect them now, not in future scenarios. People respond, resist, and survive; they are not victims, but agents. The editors do an elegant job giving order to a furious display of complexity and diversity." -- Ben Wisner, PhD, Co-author, At Risk: Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability and Disasters"People and Climate Change illuminates causes of climate-related crises, helping to locate responsibility and identify appropriate response. It shows that climate change is generated and unfolds in a socially unequal world where those who suffer most contributed least. The reader will learn about the integral link between the causes of disaster and responsibility. ... The book is analytically rigorous and provides numerous indications for policy and practice in our changing world. It is essential reading in the Anthropocene." -- Jesse Ribot, PhD, MS, Professor, School of International Service, American University; 2018-19 Guggenheim Fellow at the NYU Wagner School and CUNY Graduate Center Anthropology Program, "The volume examines the global North, the global South, and First Nations.
