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.
Steven R. Brechin is Professor of Sociology and Research Affiliate at Rutgers Climate and Energy Institute at Rutgers University, USA. His research explores the sociology of climate change, including collective and cross-national action against climate change, geoengineering controversies, climate finance, and sustainable lifestyles. He is the author of Planting Trees in the Developing Word: A Sociology of International Organizations (1997) and co-editor of Resident Peoples and National Parks: Social Dilemmas and Strategies in International Conservation (1991), Population-Environment Dynamics: Ideas & Observations (1993), and Contested Nature: Promoting International Biodiversity with Social Justice in the Twenty-First Century (2003). Seungyun Lee is a PhD student in Sociology at Rutgers University, USA. Her main areas of research are climate change emotions and sustainable lifestyles. Her master’s thesis examines how national climate policy affects individual experiences of climate anxiety. Another current project of hers investigates how and why people embrace a slow, sustainable lifestyle in a small community in Northern Michigan, and the role of privilege, networks, and geography in creating this community.
