      abstract = {This book explores how vulnerable and resilient  communities from SIDS are affected by climate change;  proposes and, where possible, evaluates adaptation  activities; identifies factors capable of enhancing or  inhibiting SIDS people's long-term ability to deal with  climate change; and critiques the discourses, vocabularies,  and constructions around SIDS dealing with climate change.  The contributions, written by well-established scholars, as  well as emerging authors and practitioners, in the field,  include conceptual papers, coherent methodological  approaches, and case studies from the communities based in  the Caribbean Sea and the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific  Oceans. In their introduction, the editors contextualise  the book within the current literature. They emphasise the  importance of stronger links between climate change science  and policy in SIDS, both to increase effectiveness of  policy and also boost scholarly enquiry in the context of  whose communities are often excluded by mainstream  research. This book is timely and appropriate, given the  recent commission by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate  Change (IPCC) of a Special Report that aims at addressing  vulnerabilities, specially in islands and coastal areas, as  well as the adaptation and policy development opportunities  following the Paris Agreement. Coupled with this, there is  also the need to support the policy community with further  scientific evidence on climate change-related issues in  SIDS, accompanying the first years of implementation of the  United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.},
