Rising sea-levels, intensifying storms, changing rainfall patterns and increasing temperatures force islanders to deal with and adapt to a changing climate. How do they respond to the challenge? What works, what doesn’t – and why? The present volume addresses these questions by exploring adaptation experiences in small islands across the world’s oceans from various perspectives and disciplines, including geography, anthropology, political science, psychology, and philosophy. The contributions to the volume focus on political and financial difficulties of climate change governance; highlight the importance of cultural values, local knowledge and perceptions in and for adaptation; and question to what extent mobility and migration constitute sustainable adaptation. Overall, the contributions highlight the diversity of island contexts, but also their specific challenges; they present valuable lessons for both adaptation success and failure, and emphasise island resilience and agency in the face of climate change." -- back cover.Climate change mitigationClimatic changesIslands of the Indian OceanClimatic changesIslands of the PacificClimatic changesOceaniaClimatic changesEffect of human beings onpolitical difficultiesfinancial difficultiescultural valueslocal knowledgeClimate change mitigation.Climatic changesClimatic changesClimatic changesClimatic changesEffect of human beings on.363.738746Klöck Carolaauth1364685Klöck CarolaFink MichaelUkMaJRUBOOK9910365045403321Dealing with climate change on small islands3386206UNINA
