Climate Change and Social Ecology (eBook, ePUB)

A New Perspective on the Climate Challenge

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Climate Change and Social Ecology takes a new and different approach to the world's most pressing challenge, recasting climate change as a challenge of rapid social evolution, and presenting a compelling vision of how sustainable societies might come about. Rather than simply describing the science of climate change or potential near-term initiatives to address the problem, this essential volume looks at the social transformation that will be necessary to deal with the challenge in the long term.
