Climate Change And Conflict In The Pacific (Routledge Studies On The Asia-Pacific Region)

Shibata, Carroll and Boege address the various dimensions of the climate change-conflict nexus and shed light on the overwhelming challenges of climate change in the Pacific Islands region. This book highlights the multidimensionality of the problems: political, technical, material, and emotional and psychological. Written by experts in the field, the chapters highlight the centrality and importance of opening up a dialogue between researchers involved in the large-scale global modelling of climate change and its impacts. Both scholars and civil society actors come together in sharing about the complexities of local contexts and the conflict-driving potential of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies on the ground, which fuses locally-focused Pacific approaches with broader international debates in the climate change-security research community. Through various accounts and perspectives, current gaps in knowledge are bridged, contributing to the development of more grounded, conflict-sensitive climate change policies, strategies, governance and adaptation measures in the Pacific region. An important resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and civil society actors interested in the multi-faceted issues of climate change in the Pacific.
