The interdisciplinary volume Nature, Environment and Culture in East Asia. The Challenge of Climate Change , edited by Carmen Meinert, explores how cultural patterns and ideas have shaped a specific understanding of nature, how local and regional cultures develop(ed) coping strategies to adapt to environmental and climatic changes in the past and in the present and how various institutions and representatives might introduce their ideas and agendas in future environmental and climate policies on national levels and in international negotiating systems. 410 0$aClimate and Culture$v1. 606 $aClimatic changes$zEast Asia 606 $aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects$zEast Asia 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$zEast Asia 606 $aPhilosophy of nature$zEast Asia 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zEast Asia 607 $aEast Asia$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aEast Asia$xSocial conditions 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature 615 0$aEnvironmental protection 676 $a363.738/74095 701 $aMeinert$b Carmen$01168326 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779877303321 996 $aNature, environment and culture in East Asia$93763914 997 $aUNINA
