Abstract:

This book aims to present an analysis of several crisis issues induced by global climate change and their implications at the micro-level, particularly from the perspective of a ground-based study. The climate crisis leads to several socio-ecological issues that need to be discussed with some empirical case studies from contextual global evidence. The climate crisis generates several social responses that are associated with mitigating issues in addition to sustainable development goals. Under these circumstances, several loopholes interlinked with the climate crisis need to be exposed in the present-day context. This book argues that it is important to understand the issues in multiple dimensions. It identifies some important dimensions to discuss in the process.

Themes covered in the book include several field-based studies for which micro-level field-based data are incorporated to understand the current crisis induced by climate change, thus exposing the vulnerabilities of the communities, which would be incorporated in different chapters with adequate representation of qualitative methods and a modelling-based geospatial approach. Along with secondary data-based studies to provide a broader picture. Additionally, this book aims to provide an interdisciplinary understanding of the issue, mainly through the lenses of geography, economics, and sociology, as well as environmental studies.
