Recenzii
The volume examines the global North, the global South, and First Nations. The 11 essays are organized into three sections: "Weather," "Land," and "Comparisons" (between vulnerable communities and countries). Each contribution is guided by sixcarefully crafted questions addressing vulnerability, adaptation, and social justice. The collection's key argument is that the vulnerabilities of communities and countries are either inherited from the past or produced and reproduced by policy decisions, causing an uneven distribution of resources for them to adapt to the changing climate and mitigate its impact. In sum,People and Climate Changeis a theoretically dense, empirically rich account of climate change and its varying impacts on communities and countries. Making an invaluable contribution to the literature on disaster studies, this collection will interest students of social work, geography, planning, and environmental studies.

People and Climate Change lives up to its title. Real people inhabit this book in the richness of their histories and situations. Real climate impacts affect them now, not in future scenarios. People respond, resist, and survive; they are not victims, but agents. The editors do an elegant job giving order to a furious display of complexity and diversity.
People and Climate Change illuminates causes of climate-related crises, helping to locate responsibility and identify appropriate response. It shows that climate change is generated and unfolds in a socially unequal world where those who suffer most contributed least. The reader will learn about the integral link between the causes of disaster and responsibility. ... The book is analytically rigorous and provides numerous indications for policy and practice in our changing world. It is essential reading in the Anthropocene.
