About this book
This book provides an accessible overview of how efforts to combat climate change and social inequalities should be tackled simultaneously. In the context of the climate emergency, the impacts of extreme events can already be felt around the world. The book centres on five case studies from the Global South, Latin America, Pacific Islands, Africa, and Asia with each one focused on climate justice, resilience, and community responses towards a just transition. The book will be an invaluable reference for advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in environmental studies, urban planning, geography, social science, international development, and disciplines that focus on the social dimensions of climate change.

Reviews
--Antonio De Lisio. Professor at Universidad Central de Venezuela, Venezuela.
“This collection of studies fills a glaring gap in research on climate justice in that richly diverse social-ecological landscape that has come to be called the Global South. While acknowledging the stark and inequitable realities of climate vulnerability across countries in Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America, the authors nonetheless highlight the tremendous capacities for agency among local communities, organizations, and peoples.”
--Dr. Debra J. Davidson, Professor, Environmental Sociology, Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology,University of Alberta, Canada.
