Although climate change impacts on the environmental life support system are global, its manifestations and subsequent consequences are social and therefore local. Therefore this book gives special attention to the significance of local communities and local governments' formal and informal adaptation and mitigation responses. Local Climate Change and Society articulates how climate change alters society-environment relationships, contributing to structural changes in local communities and societies relationship to environmental resources and economic opportunities essential for eking a living and leading a healthy life. The book consists of 12 Chapters and case studies from across the globe, written by academics, researchers and policy makers at the cutting edge of climate change studies. The main sub- themes covered by this book include: of the book are as follows: conceptualizing local climate change and society relations; analyzing and explaining local government response to local climate change, particularly adaptation/mitigation; Micro-climate policies and responses; and climate social movements and activism in South-North perspectives"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge Advances in Climate Change Research 606 $aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xGovernment policy 606 $aClimate change mitigation$xGovernment policy 606 $aCommunity development 606 $aHuman beings$xClimatic factors 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aClimate change mitigation$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aCommunity development. 615 0$aHuman beings$xClimatic factors. 676 $a363.738/74561 701 $aSalih$b Mohamed Abdel Rahim M$g(Mohamed Abdel Rahim Mohamed)$0253771 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462216203321 996 $aLocal climate change and society$92133338 997 $aUNINA
