Synopsis

This thought-provoking Handbook explores the spatially and socially differentiated nature of climate change vulnerability. Expert authors discuss the ways that climate change vulnerability is materially and discursively produced as well as the agency, capacity and resilience of affected communities.



Interdisciplinary in scope, this book features both leading and emerging international academics, offering diverse perspectives. Chapters delve into the conceptual origins and theoretical debates of climate change vulnerability, as well as existing and emerging responses to vulnerability in different environmental, cultural and social contexts. With a decolonising, Indigenous-led and justice-oriented approach, this innovative Handbook critically reflects on the concept of vulnerability, examining the disparities between the experiences of those of different gendered identities and social positions. Ultimately, this book provides insights into the navigation of communal futures in response to and beyond climate change vulnerability.



Students and scholars of environmental sociology, development studies and human, environmental, social and cultural geography will greatly benefit from this Handbook’s integrated perspective. It is also a vital resource for climate change researchers working in the social sciences, as well as practitioners and policymakers working on climate change vulnerability policies and programs.
