Read on Louise Reader App.
This volume sheds light on the complex global landscape of democracy weakening and autocracy strengthening, along with their profound impact on the response to the climate crisis. The book is divided into three sections and adopts a multidisciplinary approach. The first section examines various pathways of global democracy erosion and autocracy growth, including challenges posed by voters, politicians, unelected officials, and climate skeptics.
In the second section, the focus shifts to climate change politics in a divided world, investigating the challenges political polarization poses to a sustainable future. The chapters cover key topics, such as energy security, responses to environmental disasters, environmental sustainability, sustainable development, and human rights.
The impact of eroding democracy on the natural environment and the sustainability concerns during the climate change era is explored in the third section, viewed through a rarely used humanities lens. Studies on pro-climatic national symbols, ecofeminism, eco-justice, and the Sustainable Development Goals ante litteram provide the context for this final section.
This book offers invaluable insights into our evolving world. For scholars, students, policymakers, and activists in fields such as autocracy, democracy, politics of climate change, political sociology, international relations, and sustainability, it presents strategies to navigate climate change adaptation in a rapidly changing, less democratic world.

Barbara Wejnert is a Professor of Political Sociology, Sustainability, and Gender at the Department of Environment and Sustainability, as well as a faculty member at the Jaeckel Center for Law, Democracy and Governance at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA. Her work focuses on democracy and the factors that impact its adoption, global diffusion, and democracy retreat, as well as the effects of democracy on countries' sustainable development and population well-being. In particular, she studies the impact of democratic politics on gender equity and gender-balanced policies as pathways to sustainable development across the US and internationally. She has further studied the multiple causes and differential outcomes of spreading democracy worldwide, as well as the effects of democracy’s growth and retreat on countries’ sustainable development efforts. Wejnert is the author or editor of several books and numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals, including the American Sociological Review, Annual Review of Sociology, and Perspectives on Politics, which discuss democratizing processes and their consequences for social policies and countries' development. Her book "Diffusion of Democracy", published by Cambridge University Press in 2014, received multiple nominations for scholarly awards. Wejnert is also the recipient of the prestigious Arlene Kaplan Daniels Paper Award for her work on the effects of democratization on unequal outcomes of democracy on the well-being of women compared to men.
