Add to basketAs climate change accelerates, so does the urgency to understand and address its unequal impacts. This book explores the uneven impacts of climate change and how it affects the lives and livelihoods of climate-disadvantaged communities by highlighting the specific challenges they face, such as heatwaves, droughts, flooding, health issues, and economic losses. It explains why vulnerable populations are more at risk due to factors such as lack of infrastructure, poverty, and limited access to resources. This book offers insights on conceptual frameworks to help vulnerable communities adapt and become more resilient to climate impacts. Real-life examples with challenges and actionable suggestions aim to inform policymakers and the public about the urgent need for targeted initiatives.
Features:
This book serves as a valuable resource for a wide audience, including climate scientists, geographers, ecologists, geologists, urban planners, environmentalists, research scholars, and policymakers engaged in the fields of environmental management, climate justice, and sustainable development. By featuring the voices and experiences of disadvantaged communities, this book contributes meaningfully to the ongoing debates of climate justice, sustainable development, and equitable adaptation pathways.
