The Oxford Handbook of Climate Change and Society (Oxford Handbooks)
"Climate change is about the relationship of society with nature and economy. It is also about the 'nature' of human society, our wants, needs and greed. But too little is said about this connection between science and society. ThisHandbookjoins the dots, to bring a rich understanding of how society can 'fix' this existential challenge by 'fixing' itself first. Read it because you must."--Sunita Narain, Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi"ThisHandbookrepresents a valuable source of knowledge covering the science of climate change and vital impacts on society not only at the local level but globally. The value of thisHandbooklies in the fact that it informs the public on why action by human society in dealing with climate change is critical and urgent."--R.K. Pachauri, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change"The collection offers substantial value, of diverse character. Some pieces provide clear and economical introductions to some relevant body of scholarship; some provide cogent syntheses of some area of work; some advance a novel perspective or provocative thesis."--Climate Law
