This book investigates and analyses places in Europe, North America and Asia that are facing the immense challenges associated with climate change adaptation. Presenting real-world cases in the contexts of coastal change, drinking water and the cryosphere, Michael Buser shows how the concept of care can be applied to water security and climate adaptation.
Exploring the everyday and often hidden ways in which water security is accomplished, the book demonstrates the pervasiveness and power of care to contribute to flourishing lives and communities in times of climate change.Water security issues resulting from climate change are a reality for people across the world, and this book highlights the experiences, challenges, successes and failures of communities at the vanguard.
Using real-world cases in the UK, Thailand and India Michael Buser advocates for the role of ecological care in the activities of climate adaptation and living with environmental change.
