| Description: |
This edited volume brings together revised versions of many of the papers presented during an international Climate Change workshop organised by World Bank, as an initial step in taking stock of existing knowledge on the social dimensions of climate change. Several new papers were also commissioned for this volume. |
| Synopsis: |
Climate change is arguably the most profound challenge facing the international community in the 21st century. Tremendous strides have been made over recent years in improving scientific understanding of the human processes driving climate change, but much less understood is how these dynamics in the physical environment interact with socio-economic systems. This book brings together the work of prominent researchers and practitioners who take stock of the latest knowledge on the social dimensions of climate change. |
