Beschreibung:
Although it is generally accepted that the climate is changing for the worse and that human activities are a major contributing factor in that change, there is still only marginal response to the challenge posed by climate change. This book provides social science perspectives on a range of attempts to adjust human activity to reduce its environmental impact, varying from the changing of the dress code in Japanese offices to the creation of zero-carbon, gated communities in Bangalore, India. The book provides a timely insight into the complexities of saving the planet through human endeavour. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social Science.
