- A major analysis of a key global issue
- Broad-ranging treatment of fast-growing field
- Outstanding range of contributors
- Multidisciplinary in approach
- Essential reference for students and scholars in this field
Climate change presents perhaps the most profound challenge ever confronted by human society. This volume is a definitive analysis drawing on the best thinking on questions of how climate change affects human systems, and how societies can, do, and should respond. Key topics covered include the history of the issues, social and political reception of climate science, the denial of that science by individuals and organized interests, the nature of the social disruptions caused by climate change, the economics of those disruptions and possible responses to them, questions of human security and social justice, obligations to future generations, policy
instruments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and governance at local, regional, national, international, and global levels.Readership: Academics teaching and researching across the social sciences, philosophy, law, environmental studies, and public policy. The Handbook will also be of interest to the general reader concerned with climate change.

"This Handbook represents a valuable source of knowledge covering the science of climate change and vital impacts on society not only at the local level but globally. The value of this Handbook lies in the fact that it informs the public on why action by human society in dealing with climate change is critical and urgent." - R K Pachauri, Chairman of the IPCC
"Climate change is about the relationship of society with nature and economy. It is also about the 'nature' of human society, our wants, needs and greed. But too little is said about this connection between science and society. This Handbook joins the dots, to bring a rich understanding of how society can 'fix' this existential challenge by 'fixing' itself first. Read it because you must." - Sunita Narain, Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi
