CLIMATE AND SOCIETY - ROBIN LEICHENKO KAREN OBR...

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.
