Media Reviews
Climate Change, Sustainable Development, and Human Security is unique in its focus on climate change and its long-term impact on human security and sustainable development. The anthology pulls together case studies from the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries to demonstrate the multidimensional impact of climate change on human survival and explores possible mitigating policies and approaches.
This book is scholarly yet engagingly readable by lay persons. It combines scientific data with non-technical narrative to provide a well-documented, balanced, and informed analysis of climate change and its impact on human health, security, and broader issues of economic development.
This topical book addresses climate change and global warming in regard to (environmental) well-being and global human security. Scholars and policy makers tend to focus on the global issue of climate change from an EU or U.S. perspective. This book is a must for students and experts that aim at a better and more differentiated understanding of the key issues for other players—fundamental if a global solution is to be agreed—through a variety of country studies (China, Brazil, India, Russia, Turkey and the Mediterranean region, and Bangladesh and Nepal). -- Annette Bongardt, visiting fellow, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute, Florence
