Routledge Handbook of Climate Change and Society

About this book

Routledge Handbook of Climate Change and Society is a comprehensive guide that provides insights into the multifaceted relationship between climate change and society and covers a wide array of topics, disciplines, and cultures, from the latest trends in weather patterns to the issue of climate (in)justice. The second edition, which is overwhelmingly comprised of all-new essays, is an indispensable resource for those interested in understanding the complexities of climate change and its societal implications.

The book contains seven thematically organized sections examining the various aspects of climate change and its intersection with our society: Climate Change in the Natural and Social Sciences; Human Population, Movement, and Health; Economics, Energy, and Consumption; Urban Climate Resiliency; Technological Innovations and Pitfalls; Gender, Poverty, and Justice; and Politics and Governance. Each part provides a unique and important perspective for understanding the challenges as well as opportunities presented by climate change.

Through original research findings and critical analysis, this book sheds light on the urgent need for interdisciplinary approaches to tackle climate change effectively. By examining the intersectionality of climate change with various social, economic, and political factors, it offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, activists, and anyone concerned about the future of our planet. With a forward-looking perspective that emphasizes optimism and resilience, this book serves as a tool for fostering hope and collective action in the face of climate change challenges.
