Abstract:
This is an atlas of islands at risk from the impacts of climate change. It starts with an island-centric rationale for the book and how it was developed, then goes on to provide vignettes from 49 islands. These island narratives provide fascinating multidisciplinary perspectives drawing on geoscience, bioscience, literature, history, politics, economics and lived experience. Often an island is used to illustrate an aspect of climate change, e.g. mangrove loss on the Bissagos Islands. Island nations and indigenous voices from the Global South are emphasised, which is welcomed as these are rarely heard. However, an example from Europe, such as the Friesian islands or the Orkneys, would have provided balance and not left the reader with the impression that European islands are free from the impacts of climate change.
