As the world faces this onslaught, we have placed our faith in \"sustainable development,\" which promises that we can survive and even thrive in the face of climate change and other risks. Yet while claiming to \"go green,\" we have instead created new risks, continued to degrade nature, and failed to halt global warming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnnatural Disasters\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new perspective on our most pressing environmental and social challenges, revealing the gaps between abstract concepts like sustainability, resilience, and innovation and the real-world experiences of people living at risk. Gonzalo Lizarralde explains how the causes of disasters are not natural but all too human: inequality, segregation, marginalization, colonialism, neoliberalism, racism, and unrestrained capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe tells the stories of Latin American migrants, Haitian earthquake survivors, Canadian climate activists, African slum dwellers, and other people resisting social and environmental injustices around the world. Lizarralde shows that most reconstruction and risk-reduction efforts exacerbate social inequalities. Some responses do produce meaningful changes, but they are rarely the ones powerful leaders have in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book reveals how disasters have become both the causes and consequences of today's most urgent challenges and proposes achievable solutions to save a planet at risk, emphasizing the power citizens hold to change the current state of affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855390396652,"sku":"9780231198103","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/c63b8ec326b3acc10926909f20c0b311.jpg?v=1759278536"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/gonzalo-lizarralde.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
