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.
