Routledge - The Social Aspects of Environmental and Climate Change

The Social Aspects of Environmental and Climate Change offers a deep examination of why climate change is a social issue rather than just a natural science problem. Part of the Routledge Advances in Climate Change Research series, this book challenges the mainstream focus on natural science framing that often dominates current research. By looking at how common assumptions in sustainability science can slow progress, the author provides a new way to look at environmental shifts. The text uses social sciences theory to help readers understand institutional dynamics, including how scale and learning possibilities affect our response to a changing planet. This book is an essential resource for those looking to move beyond linear models and understand the complex social systems that shape our environmental future.
