In a series of landmark texts first published by <i>New Left Review</i>, Herman Daly and Benjamin Kunkel discusses the possibility of an egalitarian, steady-state economy, while Robert Pollin warns against the worldwide slump 'degrowth' could bring and calls instead for a single-issue campaign - 2 per cent of global GDP dedicated to the switch to renewable energy - as the swiftest solution to the emissions crisis. <br><br>Nancy Fraser envisages an eco-socialist exit from capitalism's multifold crises, while Troy Vettese advocates eco-austerity and half-earth rewilding. Lola Seaton draws out the strategic implications of these contested perspectives, in a set of unavoidable 'green questions'. In the realm of contemporary politics, Alyssa Battistoni writes on the dead-end of COP diplomacy, Cédric Durand asks whether energy shortages will derail the transition away from fossil fuels, and Thomas Meaney compares Green New Deal proposals to the pinched reality of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act.<br><br>The world's major powers accept the likelihood of dangerous climate change, yet seem incapable of averting it. Can radical green models generate the social leverage needed to do so?

The authors bring perspectives from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, their chapters engaging with the concept of transnational democracy by tracing its development in the past, assessing its performance in the present, and considering its potential for survival in this century and beyond. Coming from a wide array of intellectual disciplines and policymaking backgrounds, the authors share a common conviction that our global institutions-both governments and international organizations-must become more resilient, transparent, and democratically accountable in order to address the cascading political, economic, and social crises of this new epoch, such as climate change, mass migration, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and resurgent authoritarianism. This book will be relevant for courses in international relations and political science, environmental politics, and the preservation of democracy and federalism around the world. fCC BY-NC-ND0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change 7aBusiness & Economics / Environmental Economics2bisacsh 7aPolitical Science / International Relations2bisacsh 0aPolitical science 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/fc72c716-a0bd-4fe0-a0b0-4558b5a8823dzView this content on BiblioBoard.7003113nam a22003977a 4500001003700000003000800037005001700045006001900062007001500081008004100096037001600137245010500153020001800258029010800276040002100384700003100405700002600436700003000462264005900492300002300551336002600574337002600600338003600626520124900662540001601911588004701927590004501974650005502019650006602074650004802140650001202188653023802200655002202438758013602460856011902596646b35f4-24ed-4f2d-90b0-40797a3fbd13ScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20242023xx o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard00aUrban Climate JusticebTheory, Praxis, Resistance /cJennifer L.

Whether the situation be displacement within cities through carbon gentrification or the increasing securitization of elite spaces for climate protection, climate justice and urban justice are intimately connected. Contributors to the volume build theoretical tools for interrogating the root causes of climate change, as well as policy failures. They also highlight knowledge produced within communities already seeking transformative change and demonstrate meaningful learning from activist groups working to address the socionatural injustices caused by the impact of climate change. The editors' introduction situates our current climate emergency within historical processes of colonization, racial capitalism, and heteropatriarchy, while the editors' conclusion offers pathways forward through abolition, care, and reparations. Where other books focus on the project of critique, this collection advances real-world politics to help academics, practitioners, and social justice groups imagine, create, and enact more just urban futures under climate change. fCC BY-NC-ND0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change 7aScience / Global Warming & Climate Change2bisacsh 7aSocial Science / Social Classes & Economic Disparity2bisacsh 7aSocial Science / Sociology / Urban2bisacsh 0aScience00aclimate reparationsaclimate urbanismaadaptation planningatransformative justiceaqueer resilienceaclimate financeajustice studiesaenvironmental privilegeaClimate justiceacritical climateaenvironmental racismaurban geography 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/646b35f4-24ed-4f2d-90b0-40797a3fbd13zView this content on BiblioBoard.7001733nam a22003617a 45000010037000000030008000370050017000450060019000620070015000810080041000960370016001372450080001530200018002330290108002510400021003591000026003802640048004063000031004543360026004853370026005113380036005375200259005735400016008325880047008485900045008956500055009406500046009956500041010416500012010826550022010947580136011168560119012524bf14513-38c3-48f2-b417-94b6b4052573ScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20242023xxk o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard00aAnthropocence RealismbFiction in the Age of Climate Change /cJohn Thieme. a97813502960391 ahttps://openresearchlibrary.org/ext/api/media/4bf14513-38c3-48f2-b417-94b6b4052573/assets/thumbnail.jpg aScCtBLLcScCtBLL1 aThieme, Johneauthor. 1aLondon, UK :bBloomsbury Publishing,c2024. a1 online resource (221 p.) atextbtxt2rdacontent acomputerbc2rdamedia aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier aThe book considers the poetics of twenty-first century climate change fiction, focusing on realism and exploring the realist mode as a means to engage readers with what is without doubt one of, if not the, most pressing problem of our day: climate change fCC BY-NC-ND0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change 7aScience / Global Warming & Climate Change2bisacsh 7aPhilosophy / Movements / Realism2bisacsh 7aLiterary Criticism / Poetry2bisacsh 0aScience 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/4bf14513-38c3-48f2-b417-94b6b4052573zView this content on BiblioBoard.7002880nam a22004097a 4500001003700000003000800037005001700045006001900062007001500081008004100096037001600137245014000153020001800293024005100311029010800362040002100470700003000491700003000521264002600551300003100577336002600608337002600634338003600660520104300696540001601739588004701755590004501802590007601847650004801923650002801971650004001999650002002039653013402059655002202193758013602215856011902351929711db-0075-49a0-93ac-fed56434a6e2ScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20242023sz o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard04aThe Impact of Climate Change on Vulnerable PopulationsbSocial Responses to a Changing Environment /cDebra D.

The Covid-19 pandemic has laid bare the devastating consequences of unequal access to sanitation in cities across the globe. At this critical moment in global public health, Colin McFarlane makes the urgent case for Sanitation for All.<br><br>The book outlines the worldwide sanitation crisis and offers a vision for a renewed, equitable investment in sanitation that democratises and socialises the modern city. Adopting Henri Lefebvre's concept of 'the right to the city', it uses the notion of 'citylife' to reframe the discourse on sanitation from a narrowly-defined policy discussion to a question of democratic right to public life and health. In doing so, the book shows that sanitation is an urbanizing force whose importance extends beyond hygiene to the very foundation of urban social life. fCC BY-NC-ND0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Global Health 7aSocial Science / Anthropology / Cultural & Social2bisacsh 7aSocial Science / Sociology / Urban2bisacsh 7aPolitical Science / Public Policy / City Planning & Urban Development2bisacsh 0aPolitical science00asanitationatoiletsasewersaslumsasquattersapublic healthathe right to the city 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/045652da-545f-4e24-9665-3cdb067755ebzView this content on BiblioBoard.7002762nam a22003377a 45000010037000000030008000370050017000450060019000620070015000810080041000960370016001372450153001530200018003060290108003240400021004321000029004532640044004823000031005263360026005573370026005833380036006095201327006455400016019725880047019885900045020356500055020806500012021356550022021477580136021698560119023055568ae1c-ef5b-41e0-86f5-99d3c30c176dScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20222023xx o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard00aClimate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics Artists Reimagine the Arctic and AntarcticbArtists Reimagine the Arctic and Antarctic /cLisa E.

Bloom considers the ways artists, filmmakers, and activists engaged with the Arctic and Antarctic to represent our current environmental crises and reconstruct public understandings of them. Bloom engages feminist, Black, Indigenous, and non-Western perspectives to address the exigencies of the experience of the Anthropocene and its attendant ecosystem failures, rising sea levels, and climate-led migrations. As opposed to mainstream media depictions of climate change that feature apocalyptic spectacles of distant melting ice and desperate polar bears, artists such as Katja Aglert, Subhankar Banerjee, Joyce Campbell, Judit Hersko, Roni Horn, Isaac Julien, Zacharias Kunuk, Connie Samaras, and activist art collectives take a more complex poetic and political approach. In their films and visual and conceptual art, these artists link climate change to its social roots in colonialism and capitalism while challenging the suppression of information about environmental destruction and critiquing Western art institutions for their complicity. Bloom's examination and contextualization of new polar aesthetics makes environmental degradation more legible while demonstrating that our own political agency is central to imagining and constructing a better world. fCC BY-NC-ND0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change 7aScience / Global Warming & Climate Change2bisacsh 0aScience 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/5568ae1c-ef5b-41e0-86f5-99d3c30c176dzView this content on BiblioBoard.7002688nam a22003857a 4500001003700000003000800037005001700045006001900062007001500081008004100096037001600137245009900153020001800252029010800270040002100378100003000399700002900429700003000458264004400488300003100532336002600563337002600589338003600615520104200651540001601693588004701709590004501756590007601801650007501877650006201952650001102014655002202025758013602047856011902183c1212497-d5c3-456e-9f99-266da25d48aaScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20232023xx o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard00aVanishing SandsbLosing Beaches to Mining /cOrrin H.

The authors of <i>Vanishing Sands</i> track the devastating impact of legal and illegal sand mining over the past twenty years, ranging from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to South America and the eastern United States. They show how sand mining has reached crisis levels: beach, dune, and river ecosystems are in danger of being lost forever, while organized crime groups use deadly force to protect their illegal mining operations. Calling for immediate and widespread resistance to sand mining, the authors demonstrate that its cessation is paramount for saving not only beaches, dunes, and associated environments but also lives and tourism economies everywhere. fCC BY-NC-ND0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change aBiblioBoard internal publisher id: c1212497-d5c3-456e-9f99-266da25d48aa 7aNature / Ecosystems & Habitats / Coastal Regions & Shorelines2bisacsh 7aNature / Environmental Conservation & Protection2bisacsh 0aNature 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/c1212497-d5c3-456e-9f99-266da25d48aazView this content on BiblioBoard.7003730nam a22003857a 450000100370000000300080003700500170004500600190006200700150008100800410009603700160013724501350015302000180028802901080030604000210041410000320043526400410046730000230050833600260053133700260055733800360058349000540061952019760067354000160264958800470266565000480271265000570276065000450281765000200286265301310288265500220301375801360303583000540317185601190322529512acb-e7b0-4bdd-83cb-aca7dca01f03ScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20232023xx o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard00aEmpowering Female Climate Change Activists in the Global SouthbThe Path Toward Environmental Social Justice /cPeggy Ann Spitzer. a97818038292101 ahttps://openresearchlibrary.org/ext/api/media/29512acb-e7b0-4bdd-83cb-aca7dca01f03/assets/thumbnail.jpg aScCtBLLcScCtBLL1 aSpitzer, Peggy Anneauthor. 1a[s.l.] :bEmerald Publishing,c2023. a1 online resource. atextbtxt2rdacontent acomputerbc2rdamedia aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier1 aDiverse Perspectives on Creating a Fairer Society a<p><strong>The ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online.</strong></p> <p>The COP27 climate change conference in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt made it clear that fighting global warming will require continuing commitment, cooperation, and collaborative action from multiple constituencies around the world.

Despite the increasing involvement of UN human rights bodies in addressing environmental degradation and climate change, a systematic review of the convergence between human rights and the environment in these bodies has not been carried out. Filing this lacuna, this book surveys the resolutions, general comments, concluding observations, decisions on individual communications and press releases. It identifies principles that have emerged, explores the ways in which human rights charter-based and treaty-based institutions are interpreting environmental principles and examines how they contribute to the emerging field of human rights and the environment. Given the disproportionate effect that polluting activities have on marginalized and vulnerable groups, Atapattu also discusses how these human rights mechanisms have addressed the impact on women, children, indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, and racial minorities. Written by a world-renowned expert on human rights and the environment, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars researching and teaching in this important field of study. fCC BY-NC-ND0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change 7aLaw / Environmental2bisacsh 7aBusiness & Economics / Development / Sustainable Development2bisacsh 0aEconomics 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/d7fb2a19-a671-4061-9a0a-c513260249dbzView this content on BiblioBoard.7003045nam a22003497a 4500001003700000003000800037005001700045006001900062007001500081008004100096037001600137245012100153020001800274029010800292040002100400700003600421700002500457264003300482300003100515336002600546337002600572338003600598520162000634540001002254588004702264590004502311650005002356650001202406655002202418758013602440856011902576adce525a-ce20-4185-a86a-1902785450fbScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20232023xx o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard00aFlood Risk in a Climate Change ContextbExploring Current and Emerging Drivers /cTiago Miguel Ferreira, Haiyun Shi. a97818035660471 ahttps://openresearchlibrary.org/ext/api/media/adce525a-ce20-4185-a86a-1902785450fb/assets/thumbnail.jpg aScCtBLLcScCtBLL1 aFerreira, Tiago Migueleeditor.1 aShi, Haiyuneeditor. 1a[s.l.] :bIntechOpen,c2023. a1 online resource (120 p.) atextbtxt2rdacontent acomputerbc2rdamedia aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier aDespite advancements in scientific knowledge and technological capabilities, flood disasters continue to escalate in severity and extent due to the combination of increasingly intensive land use and the growing effects of climate change. To combat this challenge, it is imperative to advance fundamental and applied research that enables targeted interventions, reduces vulnerability, enhances resilience, and supports decision-makers in implementing effective flood risk-reduction policies. This comprehensive volume contributes to this critical objective by collating recent studies and cutting-edge methodologies that delve into understanding both existing and emerging flood risk drivers within the current climate change context. From investigating the role of constructed wetlands in stormwater management and evaluating flood risk in historic urban areas to analysing the non-stationarity of extreme rainfall and advancing torrential rainfall forecasts, no aspect is left unexplored. Additionally, this volume delves into examining flood damage on agricultural land and understanding post-fire debris flow susceptibility. By meticulously investigating these multifaceted dimensions, the book arms readers with actionable insights and knowledge.The editors hope this comprehensive resource serves as a beacon for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike. By equipping readers with the latest advancements and methodologies, we hope this book empowers them to better comprehend flood risks, navigate the complexities of climate change, and forge a path toward a more resilient and sustainable future. fCC BY0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change 7aScience / Earth Sciences / Hydrology2bisacsh 0aScience 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/adce525a-ce20-4185-a86a-1902785450fbzView this content on BiblioBoard.7003831nam a22003377a 45000010037000000030008000370050017000450060019000620070015000810080041000960370016001372450092001530200018002450290108002630400021003711000030003922640052004223000031004743360026005053370026005313380036005575202453005935400010030465880047030565900045031036500048031486500020031966550022032167580136032388560119033747e92da51-0f98-444a-b377-884aed8f5debScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20232023xxk o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard00aReimagining Urban NaturebLiterary Imaginaries for Posthuman Cities /cChantelle Bayes. a97818020790811 ahttps://openresearchlibrary.org/ext/api/media/7e92da51-0f98-444a-b377-884aed8f5deb/assets/thumbnail.jpg aScCtBLLcScCtBLL1 aBayes, Chantelleeauthor. 1aLiverpool :bLiverpool University Press,c2023. a1 online resource (280 p.) atextbtxt2rdacontent acomputerbc2rdamedia aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier aClimate change is a reality, and communities around the world are now facing significant environmental problems - rising global temperatures leading to increased risk of flooding, fire, and sea level rise, resulting in the destruction of property and social infrastructure, loss of biodiversity and tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and damage to economies. Little wonder then that the online conference held on 30 September 2021 with the title "Ecomuseums and Climate Action" attracted more than one hundred participants from countries whose communities are facing these problems. This book presents the results of this conference where heritage experts, community activists, curators, politicians and academics from several countries, explored how ecomuseums and community museums are acting as catalysts for transition, renewal, and sustainable development and how they might effectively contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and climate action. How can these organisations best contribute to the debate about the climate crisis and promote local action? Central to those actions are encouraging local people to recognise how important their cultural, natural and intangible cultural heritage is in making places special and giving a sense of belonging, why that heritage should be sustained, and how heritage assets can be used to promote climate action. This book - with its remarkable collection of essays from around the world - demonstrates how small local actions, considered together, can have a dramatic and far-reaching impact. It will be warmly welcomed by anyone interested in climate action, heritage and museum studies, and environmental issues. They sustain the global economy, set cultural trends, produce greenhouse gas emissions and consume energy; they attract migration flows and foster new political waves. While cities were supposed to be declining back in the 1980s, the globalised economy has established them as crucial world hubs leading billions of people on every continent, both at the top and the bottom of the social ladder, to move to cities. Today, global cities cry out for a more prominent role. But why and to what extent do they matter? Can they really stand alone in the global arena? How are they interacting with governments and multilateral organisations? From climate change to connectivity, from inequalities to migration: what is their contribution to key global challenges? fCC BY0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change 7aSocial Science / Sociology / Urban2bisacsh 0aSocial sciences 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/7e92da51-0f98-444a-b377-884aed8f5debzView this content on BiblioBoard.7003576nam a22003977a 450000100370000000300080003700500170004500600190006200700150008100800410009603700160013724501440015302000180029702400260031502901080034104000210044970000300047070000290050025000100052926400410053930000310058033600260061133700260063733800360066352018930069958800470259259000450263959000760268465000300276065000380279065000620282865000110289065500220290175801360292385601190305961734fd0-b993-4a01-86e0-7251f9de7a1eScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20222023xx o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard00aCreating Resilient Landscapes in an Era of Climate ChangebGlobal Case Studies and Real-World Solutions /cMeghann Jarchow, Amin Rastandeh. a97810008229468 a10.4324/97810032664401 ahttps://openresearchlibrary.org/ext/api/media/61734fd0-b993-4a01-86e0-7251f9de7a1e/assets/thumbnail.jpg aScCtBLLcScCtBLL1 aJarchow, Meghanneeditor.1 aRastandeh, Amineeditor. a1 ed. 1a[s.l.] :bTaylor and Francis,c2022. a1 online resource (268 p.) atextbtxt2rdacontent acomputerbc2rdamedia aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier aThis book delivers a realistic and feasible framework for creating resilient landscapes in an era of anthropogenic climate change.From across six continents, this book presents fifteen case studies of differing sociocultural, economic, and biophysical backgrounds that showcase opportunities and limitations for creating resilient landscapes throughout the world. The potential to create socio-ecological resilience is examined across a wide range of landscapes, including agricultural, island, forest, coastal, and urban landscapes, across sixteen countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Guatemala, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Samoa, South Africa, the United States, Turkey, Uruguay, and Vanuatu. Chapters discuss current and future issues around creating a sustainable food system, conserving biodiversity, and climate change adaptation and resilience, with green infrastructure, nature-based architecture, green-tech, and ecosystem services as just a few of the approaches discussed. The book emphasizes solution-oriented approaches for an "ecological hope" that can support landscape resiliency in this chaotic era, and the chapters consider the importance of envisioning an unpredictable future with numerous uncertainties. In this context, the key focus is on how we all can tackle the intertwined impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss, and large-scale land-cover conversion in urban and non-urban landscapes, with particular attention to the concept of landscape resiliency. The volume provides that much-needed link between theory and practice to deliver forward-thinking, practical solutions.This book will be of great interest to students, researchers, practitioners and policymakers who are interested in the complex relationship between landscapes, climate change, biodiversity loss, and land-based conversion at local, national and global scales.0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change aBiblioBoard internal publisher id: 61734fd0-b993-4a01-86e0-7251f9de7a1e 7aNature / Ecology2bisacsh 7aArchitecture / Landscape2bisacsh 7aNature / Environmental Conservation & Protection2bisacsh 0aNature 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/61734fd0-b993-4a01-86e0-7251f9de7a1ezView this content on BiblioBoard.7103596nam a22004097a 45000010037000000030008000370050017000450060019000620070015000810080041000960370016001372450144001530200018002970240026003150290108003410400021004497000030004707000029005002500010005292640041005393000023005803360026006033370026006293380036006555201893006915400016025845880047026005900045026475900076026926500030027686500038027986500062028366500011028986550022029097580136029318560119030673e3b61a1-7546-4bc4-9acf-40632bef8809ScCtBLL20240703191923.0m o d cr u||||||||||240703p20222023xx o u00| u eng d 5BiblioBoard00aCreating Resilient Landscapes in an Era of Climate ChangebGlobal Case Studies and Real-World Solutions /cMeghann Jarchow, Amin Rastandeh. a97810008230048 a10.4324/97810032664401 ahttps://openresearchlibrary.org/ext/api/media/3e3b61a1-7546-4bc4-9acf-40632bef8809/assets/thumbnail.jpg aScCtBLLcScCtBLL1 aJarchow, Meghanneeditor.1 aRastandeh, Amineeditor. a1 ed. 1a[s.l.] :bTaylor and Francis,c2022. a1 online resource. atextbtxt2rdacontent acomputerbc2rdamedia aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier aThis book delivers a realistic and feasible framework for creating resilient landscapes in an era of anthropogenic climate change.From across six continents, this book presents fifteen case studies of differing sociocultural, economic, and biophysical backgrounds that showcase opportunities and limitations for creating resilient landscapes throughout the world. The potential to create socio-ecological resilience is examined across a wide range of landscapes, including agricultural, island, forest, coastal, and urban landscapes, across sixteen countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Guatemala, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Samoa, South Africa, the United States, Turkey, Uruguay, and Vanuatu. Chapters discuss current and future issues around creating a sustainable food system, conserving biodiversity, and climate change adaptation and resilience, with green infrastructure, nature-based architecture, green-tech, and ecosystem services as just a few of the approaches discussed. The book emphasizes solution-oriented approaches for an "ecological hope" that can support landscape resiliency in this chaotic era, and the chapters consider the importance of envisioning an unpredictable future with numerous uncertainties. In this context, the key focus is on how we all can tackle the intertwined impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss, and large-scale land-cover conversion in urban and non-urban landscapes, with particular attention to the concept of landscape resiliency.

With its position at the border of people, technology, science, and communication, technical communication has a significant role to play in helping to solve these complex environmental problems. This collection of essays engages scholars and practitioners in a conversation about how the field has contributed to pragmatic and democratic action to address climate change. Compared to most prior work-which offers theoretical perspectives of environmental communication-this collection explores the actual practice of international technical communicators who participate in government projects, corporate processes, nonprofit programs, and international agency work, demonstrating how technical communication theories such as participatory design, social justice, and ethics can help shape pragmatic environmental action. fCC BY-NC-ND0 aDescription based on print version record. aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change 7aPolitical Science / Public Policy / Environmental Policy2bisacsh 7aScience / Environmental Science2bisacsh 0aScience00aTechnical Communication Communication Environmental Studies Public Policy 0aElectronic books. iIs found in:aKU Focus Collection 2023: Climate Change1https://openresearchlibrary.org/module/c721046e-4ffe-46c4-886d-1786c0f17d1840uhttps://openresearchlibrary.org/content/fe389178-1a45-4cdd-b8da-db7cd06d3faazView this content on BiblioBoard.70
