This book, focuses on South and Southeast Asia, upgrades our
understanding of the influence of multiple sociopolitical and
governance factors on climate change and risks. Moving beyond
science and technology-oriented discussions on climate change, it
argues that the real solutions to climate change problems lie in
societies, governance systems, non-state actors, and the power and
politics underpinning these systems. It presents a range of
detailed conceptual, empirical, and policy-oriented insights from
different nations of South and Southeast Asia, including India,
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Vietnam, Maldives, and Bhutan.
The chapters bring forth critical discussions of climate change,
covering a diverse range of topics including livelihoods, gender,
community perspectives, relocation, resilience, local politics,
climate change communication, governance, and policy responses. By
investigating climate change vulnerabilities and as well as
offering feasible solutions to the states and other non-state
actors in responding to climate change and risks, this book deepens
our existing knowledge of the social and political dimensions of
climate change. With interdisciplinary perspectives, this book will
appeal to all students, researchers, and scholars of environmental
studies, geography, disaster studies, sociology, policy studies,
development studies, and political science. It provides valuable
reading to practitioners, policymakers, and professionals working
in related fields.
