Rezensionen

"As anthropogenic climate change alters the environment and interacts with socioeconomic and political drivers, people in vulnerable contexts are fleeing. Despite climate migration is receiving increasing attention in legislative and policy spheres, knowledge and actions are still limited. In this sense, Rosignoli's challenging book is necessary, especially for those wishing to broaden their understanding in key issues of this topic from a comprehensive environmental justice perspective."
