While there has been significant progress in natural science understanding of climate change, social science analyses have not been as fully developed. \u003cem\u003eClimate Change and Society\u003c\/em\u003e breaks new theoretical and empirical ground by presenting climate change as a thoroughly social phenomenon, embedded in behaviors, institutions, and cultural practices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection of essays summarizes existing approaches to understanding the social, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of climate change. From the factors that drive carbon emissions to those which influence societal responses to climate change, the volume provides a comprehensive overview of the social dimensions of climate change. An improved understanding of the complex relationship between climate change and society is essential for modifying ecologically harmful human behaviors and institutional practices, creating just and effective environmental policies, and developing a more sustainable future. \u003cem\u003eClimate Change and Society\u003c\/em\u003e provides a useful tool in efforts to integrate social science research, natural science research, and policymaking regarding climate change and sustainability. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProduced by the American Sociological Association's Task Force on Sociology and Global Climate Change, this book presents a challenging shift from the standard climate change discourse, and offers a valuable resource for students, scholars, and professionals involved in climate change research and policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Riley E.
