Sinopsis

This book investigates the psycho-social phenomenon which is societyâÇÖs failure to respond to climate change. It analyses the non-rational dimensions of our collective paralysis in the face of worsening climate change and environmental destruction, exploring the emotional, ethical, social, organizational and cultural dynamics to blame for this global lack of action.áThe book features eleven research projects from four different countries and is divided in two parts, the first highlighting novel methodologies, the second presenting new findings. Contributors to the first part show how a âÇÖdeep listeningâÇÖ approach to research can reveal the anxieties, tensions, contradictions, frames and narratives that contribute to peopleâÇÖs experiences, and the many ways climate change and other environmental risks are imagined through metaphor, imagery and dreams.áUsing detailed interview extracts drawn from politicians, scientists and activists as well as ordinary people, the second part of the book examines the many different ways in which we both avoid and square up to this gathering disaster, and the many faces of alarm, outrage, denial and indifference this involves.á á á ááá á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á á ááá á á á á á á
