Sommario/riassunto

This book offers an insight into climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and discusses energy justice issues within this framework. The concepts of sustainability and sustainable development have become popular among local communities, international policymakers, and researchers. In addition to these important topics, such themes as climate justice, environmental justice, global energy justice, ecological justice, sustainable justice, and procedural justice remain attractive to scholars and researchers internationally. In this edited volume, scholars elaborate on various responses to human-induced climate change, calling for action, mitigation and adaptation, and encouraging further thorough analysis and research in the field. Dr. Martha J. Crawford is an internationally recognized expert on technological innovation with extensive experience in business, environmental policy, and higher education.
