Description

The effects of CC are expected to be more severe for some segments of society than others because of geographic location, the degree of assoc. with climate-sensitive environments, and unique cultural, economic, or political characteristics of particular landscapes and human populations. Some populations may have less capacity to prepare for, and respond to, and recover from climate-related hazards and effects. This synthesis of literature illustrates info. about the socioeconomic, political, health, and cultural effects of CC on socially vulnerable populations in the U.S. and Canada. The synthesis reviews what science says about social vulnerability and CC, and documents issues not currently addressed in academic literature. A print on demand report.
