Cultural Dynamics of Climate Change and the Environment in Northern America

Global warming interacts in multiple ways with ecological and social systems in Northern America. While the US and Canada belong to the world's largest per capita emitters of greenhouse gases, the Arctic north of the continent as well as the Deep South are already affected by a changing climate. In Cultural Dynamics of Climate Change and the Environment in Northern America academics from various fields such as anthropology, art history, educational studies, cultural studies, environmental science, history, political science, and sociology explore society-nature interactions in - culturally as well as ecologically - one of the most diverse regions of the world.
