Reseña del libro "Climate Change and Threatened Communities: Vulnerability, Capacity, and Action (en Inglés)"

A groundbreaking follow-up to the 2012 Climate Change and Threatened Communities book, this collection revisits the 15 original case studies, offering fresh insights from the authors on their research sites as they examine parallel developments in their academic fields over the past 13 years. Through the study of human interactions in environments ranging from subarctic tundra to equatorial rain forest, and from oceanic lagoons to inland mountains, the book explores the capacities and constraints faced by communities in Bangladesh, Cameroon, Canada, Ecuador, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malawi, Mexico, Mozambique, Peru, South Africa, Sudan, the United States, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe - as they confront the challenges of a changing climate. Chapters weave together critical themes, including social vulnerability to climatic uncertainty, shifts in livelihood practices, local perceptions of climatic change, and the potential and limitations of the REDD+ programme ('United Nations Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries'). Essential reading for policymakers, academics, and students in climate adaptation, anthropology, and development studies, this book also offers valuable insights for anyone seeking to understand the human dimensions of climate change.
