This comprehensive volume delves into the intricate dynamics of local communities as they grapple with the profound ecological changes and devastating disasters brought forth by climate change. With a central objective of comprehending the diverse range of human responses to ecological transformations, the book seeks to contextualize the motivations behind communities' adoption of specific adaptive strategies. Through the presentation of detailed case studies showcased as individual chapters, the book endeavors to ascertain whether adaptation in the face of environmental stress arises as an individual decision or if resilience and adaptation form integral components of a broader societal action paradigm in response to environmental change.
Of particular interest are the case studies that examine climate change or disasters that have rendered certain sites inhospitable, necessitating the relocation of communities to new locations. These case studies, while primarily focused on regions within India, encompass diverse parts of the world and explore concepts such as resilience, vulnerability, risk, adaptation, and mitigation. The book serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of geography, disaster management, environmental science, and anthropology, providing valuable insights into the complex interplay between human societies and the changing ecological landscape.
