Shiva: Beyond Technical Fixes: The Socio-Political Dimensions of Climate Adaptation in Developing Countries, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Climate change presents an existential threat, particularly for developing countries. While technological advancements offer solutions, a sole focus on technical fixes misses the mark. This essay argues that effective climate adaptation in developing countries necessitates addressing the socio-political dimensions of vulnerability.
