Climate Change, Disasters, Sustainability Transition and Peace in the Anthropocene

This book provides insight into Anthropocene-related studies by IPRA's Ecology and Peace Commission. The first three chapters discuss the linkage between disasters and conflict risk reduction, responses to socio-environmental disasters in high-intensity conflict scenarios and the fragile state of disaster response with a special focus on aid-state-society relations in post-conflict settings. The two following chapters analyse climate-smart agriculture and a sustainable food system for a sustainable-engendered peace and the ethnology of select indigenous cultural resources for climate change adaptation focusing on the responses of the Abagusii in Kenya. A specific case study focuses on social representations and the family as a social institution in transition in Mexico, while the last chapter deals with sustainable peace through sustainability transition as transformative science concluding with a peace ecology perspective for the Anthropocene.

Addresses socio-environmental disasters and disaster response and conflict risk reduction challenges in the Anthropocene Deals with indigenous cultural resources for climate change and with climate smart agriculture Discusses Social Representations and the Family as a Social Institution in Transition in Mexico Offers perspectives on sustainable peace through sustainability transition in the Anthropocene
