Although it is generally accepted that the climate is changing for
the worse and that human activities are a major contributing factor
in that change, there is still only marginal response to the
challenge posed by climate change. The reasons behind this limited
response are becoming clearer through the recognition that climate
change is not just a set of physical science facts, but it is also
part of a series of complex social processes. Consequently, this
book is important in providing social science perspectives on a
range of attempts to adjust human activity to reduce its
environmental impact. These attempts vary from the changing of the
dress code in Japanese offices to the creation of zero-carbon,
gated communities in Bangalore, India. Taken together, the
contributions to this book provide timely insights into the
complexities of saving the planet through human endeavour. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary
Social Science.
