Serie:
Routledge advances in climate change research
Inhalt:
"This book offers a timely exploration of how climate change manifests in the global workplace. It draws together accounts of workers, their work and the politics of resistance in order to enable us to better understand how the impacts of climate change are structured by the economic and social processes of labour. Focusing on nine empirically-grounded cases of labour under climate change, this volume links the tools and methods of critical labour studies to key debates over climate change adaptation and mitigation, in order to highlight the active nature of struggles in the climate-impacted workplace. Spanning cases including commercial agriculture in Turkey, labour unions in the UK and brick kilns in Cambodia, this collection offers a novel lens on the changing climate, showing how both its impacts and adaptations to it emerge through the prism of working lives. Drawing together scholars from anthropology, political economy, geography and development studies, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change adaptation, labour studies and environmental justice. More generally, it will be of interest to anybody seeking to understand how the changing climate is changing the terms, conditions and politics of the global workplace"--
