Contributions on the global north examine: the role of governing processes in sustainable cities; local growth machines and their carbon consequences; tackling climate change adaptation through community participation; climate protection and the participation and engagement of citizens; the importance of networking; and assessing the success of the environmental justice within emissions trading schemes. Case studies on the global south look at such topics as: how resource-constraints shape climate adaptation; the emergence of low-carbon development; urban vulnerability and adaptation to the health impacts of air pollution and climate extremes; global environmental changes and impacts on fishing activities; environmental justice and the social construction of space in urban poor communities; and the inverse connection between gender and climate change. 588 0 Print version record 650 7 Social Science |xSociology |xGeneral. |2bisacsh 650 7 Social Science |xGeneral. |2bisacsh 650 7 Urban communities. |2bicssc 650 7 Global warming. |2bicssc 650 0 Urban ecology (Sociology) 650 0 Climatic changes. 776 |z1-78190-036-1 760 0 |tResearch in urban sociology |w(CKB)960239022697 |w(DLC)89650919 |x1875-8029 700 1 Holt, William G. 830 0 Research in urban sociology ; |vv. 12. 906 BOOK
