Climate Change in literature and literary studies: From cli‐fi, Climate Change theater and ecopoetry to ecocriticism and Climate Change criticism
Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 2016Co-Authors: Adeline Johns-putraAbstract:In the last 5 years, Climate Change has emerged as a dominant theme in literature and, correspondingly, in literary studies. Its popularity in fiction has given rise to the term cli-fi, or Climate Change fiction, and speculation that this constitutes a distinctive literary genre. In theater, the appearance of several big-name productions from 2009 to 2011 has inspired an increase in Climate Change plays. There has been a growing trend, too, of Climate Change poetry, thanks to the rise of ecopoetry (poetry that exhibits ecological awareness and engages with the world's current state of environmental degradation) and the launch of some key Climate Change poetry initiatives in the media. This prevalence of Climate Change literature has brought about a greater engagement with Climate Change in literary studies, notably the environmentally oriented branch of literary studies called ecocriticism. The increasing number of ecocritical analyses of Climate Change literature, particularly novels, is helping to shape a canon of Climate Change fiction. In a separate development, there has been greater interest in the phenomenon of Climate Change in literary or critical theory (the branch of literary studies concerned with literary concepts and philosophies rather than with literary texts). This development—centered on the study of Climate Change as a philosophical or existentialist problem—is sometimes termed Climate Change criticism or critical Climate Change.

The Climate Change–infectious disease nexus: is it time for Climate Change syndemics?
Animal Health Research Reviews, 2013Co-Authors: Claire HeffernanAbstract:Conceptualizing Climate as a distinct variable limits our understanding of the synergies and interactions between Climate Change and the range of abiotic and biotic factors, which influence animal health. Frameworks such as eco-epidemiology and the epi-systems approach, while more holistic, view Climate and Climate Change as one of many discreet drivers of disease. Here, I argue for a new paradigmatic framework: Climate-Change syndemics. Climate-Change syndemics begins from the assumption that Climate Change is one of many potential influences on infectious disease processes, but crucially is unlikely to act independently or in isolation; and as such, it is the inter-relationship between factors that take primacy in explorations of infectious disease and Climate Change. Equally importantly, as Climate Change will impact a wide range of diseases, the frame of analysis is at the collective rather than individual level (for both human and animal infectious disease) across populations.

Learning about Climate Change: Finance Ministries in International Climate Change Politics
Global Environmental Politics, 2012Co-Authors: Jakob SkovgaardAbstract:In the course of the last four years, finance ministries have increasingly become involved in the international Climate Change negotiations. Their involvement has to a large degree been an outcome of the framing of Climate Change as a market failure. This framing calls for an active Climate Change policy and is at odds with the framing of Climate Change policy that was previously predominant in finance ministries: that it constitutes expenditure to be avoided. The persistence of both framings has led to clashes within and between finance ministries with respect to Climate Change. The article calls for further research focusing on the role of the two frames and of finance ministries as actors in Climate Change politics. © 2012 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Climate Change and Cities: Urban Climate Change in context
Climate Change and Cities, 1Co-Authors: Cynthia Rosenzweig, William Solecki, Stephen A. Hammer, Shagun MehrotraAbstract:Introduction Cities, as home to over half the world's people, are at the forefront of the challenge of Climate Change. Climate Change exerts added stress on urban environments through increased numbers of heat waves threatening the health of the elderly, the ill, and the very young; more frequent and intense droughts and inland floods threatening water supplies; and for coastal cities, enhanced sea level rise and storm surges affecting people and infrastructure (Figure 1.1) (IPCC, 2007). At the same time, cities are responsible for a considerable portion of greenhouse gas emissions and are therefore crucial to global mitigation efforts (Stern, 2007; IEA, 2008). Though cities are clearly vulnerable to the effects of Climate Change, they are also uniquely positioned to take a leadership role in both mitigating and adapting to it because they are pragmatic and action-oriented; play key roles as centers of economic activity regionally, nationally, and internationally; and are often first in societal trends. There are also special features of cities related to Climate Change. These include the presence of the urban heat island and exacerbated air pollution, vulnerability caused by growing urban populations along coastlines, and high population density and diversity. Further attributes of cities specifically relevant to Climate Change relate to the presence of concentrated, highly complex, interactive sectors and systems, and multi-layered governance structures.
