Environmental change presents a new context
and new opportunities for transformational change. This timely book will
inspire new ways of understanding the relationship between
environmental change and human security. The chapters in this book include critical
analyses, case studies and reflections on contemporary environmental and
social challenges, with a strong emphasis on those related to climate
change. Human thoughts and actions have contributed to an environment of
insecurity, manifested as multiple interacting threats that now
represent a serious challenge to humanity. Yet humans also have the
capacity to collectively transform the economic, political, social and
cultural systems and structures that perpetuate human insecurities. The
contributions show that in a changing environment, human security is not
only a possibility, but a choice.
