Abstract

Climate change and globalization are weaving together the fates of households, communities, and people across all regions of the globe. Both processes are enhancing connections across space and time, such that actions taken in one location have increasingly visible effects on other locations, often in ways that are hard to predict. Both processes are seen as creating not only new opportunities but also growing risks and increasing uncertainty. Whereas geographic research has paid much attention to climate change and globalization as separate and distinct processes, only limited attention has been directed to the interactions between the processes.
