Climate Change and Socio-Ecological Transformation: Vulnerability and Sustainability

本書專注於氣候變遷的各種心理社會及社會物理層面，並包含廣泛的案例研究。所涵蓋的主題包括顯著的氣候相關社會思維；氣候脆弱性；社會生態子系統的轉型；生物氣候學、城市生物氣候學及社會生物氣候學的觀念；災害；政策工具；氣候正義；人權；以及可持續性。本書與類似作品的不同之處在於涵蓋了多樣的主題，並協助政策管理應對當前及未來的氣候危機時代。本書還針對可持續發展目標第13項（採取緊急行動以應對氣候變遷及其影響）進行探討，強調韌性、恢復潛力和適應能力，將氣候變遷措施納入政策和規劃中，以及減緩氣候變遷的知識和能力。

本書所涵蓋的觀念是對當前氣候危機的回應，作者相信這些觀念將有助於當前及未來的社會管理和發展。本書對於規劃者、地理學家、專業人士、學者、政府官員、一般民眾及其他對氣候變遷感興趣的人士來說，都是一個有用的資源。
