The book is an amalgamation of various issues within the domain of climate change and human behaviour. It covers topics like climate change in the developing world, climate risk and associated stress, climate attitudes and perceptions, psychological perspectives to adaptation, climate change perceptions in semi-arid zones of India, climate stress and coping in coastal India and coping with the changing climate.It also includes novel thought provoking write ups on human resilience to environmental change, subjective well being to global well being and the topics like spirituality and climate change which have got limited reference in earlier texts. The book is primarily written for everyone who is directly or indirectly involved in interdisciplinary climate change research, governance and policy making with a focus on social science issues.The uniqueness of the book lies in its being an out-an-out psychology based information material on climate change which makes it stand out from the rest of voluminous literature available on the subject, thus having the potential to motivate readers to broaden their horizons in knowing climate change issue far behind the existing framework.
