TOWARD JUST CLIMATE RESILIENCE Ecological Vulnerabilities, Social Capital, and Policy Transformation

Southeast Asia is facing a severe climate crisis, yet its local communities possess wisdom and resilience that are often overlooked in mainstream policy discourse. Toward Just Climate Resilience presents interdisciplinary perspectives from academics, activists, and practitioners exploring ecological vulnerabilities, social capital, and policy transformation. This book challenges technocratic approaches by highlighting local wisdom, Islamic ecological ethics, and grassroots faith-based climate action, covering issues such as food security, biodiversity, plantation agriculture, green politics, and education.More than an analysis, this book is a call to action rooted in justice and solidarity. With case studies from across Southeast Asia, it offers a roadmap for academics, policymakers, and activists to build just climate resilience. Without downplaying the urgency of the crisis, the authors invite us to envision a sustainable future and act now—by respecting local knowledge and empowering vulnerable communities as agents of change.
