From Crisis to Action : Climate Change Through the Eyes of the Most Vulnerable

This book provides compelling climate change stories of people's lived experiences and includes actionable solutions from climate-vulnerable countries. It offers valuable insight for anyone interested in climate change, activism, policy development, and students of environmental studies, economics, Earth sciences, geography, and political science.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the environmental, economic, and health impacts of climate change already being felt by vulnerable countries. It features personal stories from local pastoralists, peasant farmers, youth activists, and vulnerable workers worldwide, highlighting the human side of climate change. The book presents the work that the Climate Vulnerability Forum (CVF) and its V20 Finance Ministers (CVF-V20, now 68 countries) have done to push for urgent global cooperation on the climate crisis. Detailed case studies from many CVF-V20 countries illustrate the need for adaptation and resilience and offer a blueprint for action that can be followed by others. The book offers invaluable insight for students of environmental studies and economics, Earth sciences, human and political geography, and political science, as well as for activists, policymakers, and concerned citizens.
