Local communities around the world have been coping with the effects of a changing climate for decades. The articles published in this feature focus on the impact on local communities, their coping strategies, lessons arising, and broader questions of access, rights and justice.
This 36-page feature is available online in English at www.fmreview.org/issue64 both within the full magazine and as a standalone A5-format PDF.
All the articles except for two are also available in the shorter Arabic, Spanish and French editions of this issue.
