The Secure and the Dispossessed shows how the military and corporations plan to maintain control in a world reshaped by climate change. With one eye on the scientific evidence and the other on their global assets, dystopian preparations by the powerful are already fueling militarized security responses to the unfolding climate crisis. The implications for social and environmental justice are disturbing. Adaptation to a climate-changed world is desperately needed, but it must protect the rights of all, not just provide security to the few. The authors unveil the dangerous new security agenda, and put forward inspiring alternatives that promise a just transition to a climate-changed world."--Provided by publisher.Transnational Institute series.Climate change mitigationGovernment policyNational securityEnvironmental aspectsClimatic changesEconomic aspectsClimatic changesRisk managementClimate change mitigationGovernment policy.National securityEnvironmental aspects.Climatic changesEconomic aspects.Climatic changesRisk management.363.73874Buxton NickHayes Ben1976-George SusanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808604203321The secure and the dispossessed4056484UNINA
