This book investigates and analyses places in Europe, North America and Asia that are facing the immense challenges associated with climate change adaptation. Presenting real-world cases in the contexts of coastal change, drinking water and the cryosphere, Michael Buser shows how the concept of care can be applied to water security and climate adaptation.
Exploring the everyday and often hidden ways in which water security is accomplished, the book demonstrates the pervasiveness and power of care to contribute to flourishing lives and communities in times of climate change.
“This timely and innovative book, underpinned by examples from around the world, centres the power of storytelling and ethics of care in precisely calibrated, accessible narratives about water futures and climate change.” Owain Jones, Bath Spa University
