Titelbeschreibung

This book provides an accessible overview of how efforts to combat climate change and social inequalities should be tackled simultaneously. In the context of the climate emergency, the impacts of extreme events can already be felt around the world. The book centres on five case studies from the Global South, Latin America, Pacific Islands, Africa, and Asia with each one focused on climate justice, resilience, and community responses towards a just transition. The book will be an invaluable reference for advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in environmental studies, urban planning, geography, social science, international development, and disciplines that focus on the social dimensions of climate change.

Back cover copy

“This collection of studies fills a glaring gap in research on climate justice in that richly diverse social-ecological landscape that has come to be called the Global South. While acknowledging the stark and inequitable realities of climate vulnerability across countries in Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America, the authors nonetheless highlight the tremendous capacities for agency among local communities, organizations, and peoples.”— Debra J.

Unpublished endorsement

“Climate Change emerges as the greatest threat  of the civilisational crisis in which we find ourselves.  The consequences for the planet have been dire, including  the human species. Although we are talking about a global problem, not all have the same levels of responsibility for the most worrying manifestations of climate change. Hence the importance of demanding climate justice as well as  addressing a transgression already close to the point of no return. This demands that priority be given to economic, social, ecological and territorial redress for those countries and local communities affected with less responsibility for climate disruption. “--Antonio De Lisio. Professor at Universidad Central de Venezuela, Venezuela. “This collection of studies fills a glaring gap in research on climate justice in that richly diverse social-ecological landscape that has come to be called the Global South.
