IRIS Members Launch New Books

Highlighting IRIS Achievements in Research

  

  

Last week IRIS was proud to host a book launch for two core faculty members: Dawn Bazely and Ellie Perkins. The first book, Environmental and Human Security in the Arctic, written by York biology Professor Dawn Bazely and Gunhild Hoogensen Gj�rv of the University of Troms�, explores human security relevance to the Arctic and what achieving it can mean, covering the areas of health of the environment, identity of peoples, supply of traditional foods, community health, economic opportunities, and political stability. The second book, Water and Climate Change in Africa: Challenges and community initiatives in Durban, Maputo and Nairobi; edited by environmental studies Professor Ellie Perkins, highlights how water governance is a crucial aspect of climate change resilience because weather extremes are the main way that climate change manifests itself. Be sure to read up on these as well as other recent IRIS publications.
