The Palgrave Handbook of Human-Animal Interactions in the Global Context of Climate Change, Disasters, and Other Crises

Contributors: Wu, Haorui; Breen, Kyle; DeYoung, Sarah E.

The increasing frequency, scope, and magnitude of global extreme events affect humans and their animal co-inhabitants on our shared planet. This book features a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive text addressing human-animal interactions (HAIs) in the context of climate change, disasters, and other crises. This book presents international professionals’ HAI-driven leading ideas, debates, approaches, and promising efforts, providing a range of perspectives across the entire disaster cycle from the Global South and North. Their knowledge, experience, and expertise contribute to a nuanced understanding of disaster-specific HAIs, shedding light on enhancing human-animal welfare, promoting trans-species justice, and building resilience. Students, researchers, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and others can apply this expertise to enhance human-animal welfare and resilience in the global disaster settings.
