Perspectives on new climate realities of impacted locations

Understanding the full context of our changing climate entails both the underlying science and related social, economic, and environmental justice issues. This work uses an engaging storytelling style to provide a comprehensive understanding of the existential threat of climate change. Each chapter travels to a specific location on Earth, tying underlying issues of climate and sustainability into a global narrative. In this way, the reader is able to witness and evaluate the urgent need to
address the challenge of climate change.
