Entities most subject to the effects of climate change are often undeveloped and located in disadvantaged regions. Post-disaster communities need to scrutinize the social, political, economic, and cultural structures that stagnate sustainable growth. Acknowledging that low economic development and high climate costs cannot coexist, this collected volume interrogates the challenge for disaster-prone territories to determine strategies for restructuring and redesigning their environment. This book proposes the creation of knowledge economies, whereby empowered communities may produce innovative knowledge translatable across the African diaspora.Catastrophes in context ;Volume 7.Knowledge economyDeveloping countriesEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspectsDeveloping countriesNatural disastersEconomic aspectsDeveloping countriesNatural disastersPlanningDeveloping countriesAfrican diasporaEnvironmental Studies (General), Political and Economic Anthropology, Development Studies.Knowledge economyEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspectsNatural disastersEconomic aspectsNatural disastersPlanningAfrican diaspora.658.4038Waldron-Moore PamelaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910774595503321Designing Knowledge Economies for Disaster Resilience3670346UNINA
