The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the hardships people are experiencing from human-induced climate change and itsimpact on weather extremes. Those in the Majority World are most affected by such global crises, and the pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of these populations whilehighlighting the differences between them and those fortunate to live in the Minority World. This book presents an overview of the impact of the climate emergency punctuated by a pandemic, discussing the expanding inequalities and deteriorating spaces for democratic public engagement. Pandemic responses demonstrate how future technological, engineering, political, social, and behavioural strategies could be constructed in response to other crises. Using a critical analysis of these responses, this book proposes sociotechnical alternatives and just approaches to adapt to cascading crises in the Majority World. It will be valuable for social science students and researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in inequality and vulnerability in developing countries |
