Description: "Climate Change and Human Development offers a rich compendium or real-life scenarios of how the world's poor are suffering from, but also coping with, climate change today. Drawing on case studies gathered by Up in Smoke--a powerful coalition of global environment and development organizations, including Greenpeace, Oxfam, Practical Action and WWF--this book provides new models for human development in a climate-change-constrained future, while also providing proposals for tackling climate change at the macro-level."--Page 4 of cover.
