This book addresses the importance of cultural values, local
knowledge and identity in building community resilience in place
based contexts. There is a growing impetus among policy makers and
practitioners to support and empower capacities of communities
under changing climatic conditions. Despite this there is little
systematic understanding of why approaches work at local levels or
not and what makes some communities resilient and others less so.
Europe is typically thought to be well equipped for coping with the
effects of a changing climate - because of its moderate climate,
its manifold urban-industrialized regions, it's typically highly
skilled population, its successes in science and technology and its
advanced climate change policies. However, there is a growing need
to understand the effects culture has on communal resiliency and
for decision makers and planners to pay attention to historical and
cultural characteristics and the complexity of contextualized local
conditions to enable successful and durable implementation of
climate change policies, programs and measures. This book will be a
valuable resource for researchers, students, practitioners and
policy makers interested in facilitating sustainable, resilient
communities.
