This bold and important new book presents current and emerging
thinking on the social dimensions of climate change. Using clear
language and powerful examples, it introduces key concepts and
frameworks for understanding the multifaceted connections between
climate and society.
Robin Leichenko and Karen O’Brien frame climate change as a social
issue that calls for integrative approaches to research, policy, and
action. They explore dominant and relevant discourses on the social
drivers and impacts of climate change, highlighting the important
roles that worldviews and beliefs play in shaping responses to climate
challenges. Situating climate change within the context of a rapidly
changing world, the book demonstrates how dynamic political, economic,
and environmental contexts amplify risks yet also present
opportunities for transformative responses.
Aimed at undergraduate students and others concerned with a critical
challenge of our time, this informative and engaging book empowers
readers with a range of possibilities for equitable and sustainable
transformations in a changing climate.
