Islands and coastlines face inundation, and widespread drought, flooding, and famine are expected to worsen in the poorest and most vulnerable countries ; combining rich empirical description with a political economic view of power relations, the authors document the struggles of states and social groups most vulnerable to a changing climate and describe the emergence of new political coalitions that take climate politics beyond a simple North-South divide ; they offer six future scenarios in which power relations continue to shift as the world warms.
