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, impacts, and responses to climate change, highlighting the important roles that worldviews and beliefs play in shaping interpretations of 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 undergraduates across the social sciences studying this 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. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a Climatic changes $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864268 650 7 $a Gesellschaft $2 gnd 650 7 $a KlimaaÌnderung $2 gnd 700 1 $a O'Brien, Karen L., $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Leichenko, Robin M., author. $t Climate and society $d Cambridge ; Medford, MA : Polity, 2019 $z 9780745684420 $w (DLC) 2018051795 941 $a 1 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508023023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC6EC2FC90F111EA86A69E4897128E48 994 $a 92 $b UINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
