[gep-ed] welcoming adaptation

[Paul Wapner]

Hi Gep-eds,Are any of you familiar with works that try to see climate change not only as an impending catastrophe but also as an opportunity to transform society? I am thinking along the lines of books like, "Ethical Adaptation to Climate Change: Human Virtues of the Future" (eds. Allen Thompson and Jeremy Bendik-Keymer) or "Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We're in without Going Crazy" (Joanna Macy), that try to see how humans can grow by confronting climate change. Are there opportunities to be seized with climate change?Please email me any suggestions offline, and I will then post any suggestions to the listserv.Thank you!PaulProfessor Paul WapnerGlobal Environmental Politics ProgramSchool of International ServiceAmerican University4400 Massachusetts Avenue, NWWashington DC 20016(202) 885-1647http://www.american.edu/sis/faculty/pwapner.cfm
