The varied effects of recent extreme weather events around the world exemplify the uneven impacts of climate change on populations, even within relatively small geographic regions. Differential human vulnerability to environmental hazards results from a range of social, economic, historical, and political factors, all of which operate at multiple scales. While adaptation to climate change has been the dominant focus of policy and research agendas, it is essential to ask as well why some communities and peoples are disproportionately exposed to and affected by climate threats. The cases and synthesis presented here are organized around four key themes (resource access, governance, culture, and knowledge), which we approach from four social science fields (cultural anthropology, archaeology, human geography, and sociology). Social scientific approaches to human vulnerability draw vital attention to the root causes of climate change threats and the reasons that people are forced to adapt to them. Because vulnerability is a multidimensional process rather than an unchanging state, a dynamic social approach to vulnerability is most likely to improve mitigation and adaptation planning efforts. This article is categorized under: Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change > Values‐Based Approach to Vulnerability and Adaptation

“…However, the increasingly unregulated nature of capital can also exacerbate inequalities and situations of urban poverty. As such, cities can paradoxically present unprecedented opportunities for women and be at once the very sites of their economic, social, and environmental insecurities (Cowen 2014;Sultana 2018;Whitzman et al 2014).…”

Different from the categories of biological sex, gender refers to socially constructed differences between men and women, and boys and girls, in relation to the performance of femininity and masculinity. To achieve gender equality means securing equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities for all regardless of gender. The process of urbanization refers to the demographic phenomenon characterized by population growth in situ as well as rural populations moving to cities and towns as the drivers of economic growth and the related socio-material transformations in the built environment. Sustainable urbanization is a concept that advances urban resilience and socially equitable growth that minimizes cities' ecological footprint to meet the needs of present and future citizens. The term LGBTQIA refers to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual people.

This paper presents a systematic literature review of water saving in household consumption to inform the design of community engagement programs. Drawing from theoretical perspectives and previous studies on determinants of water saving, this study proposes a design of a community engagement program to empower the community in tackling the issue of water scarcity by considering several factors. The program also inserts the knowledge of calculative behavior applied in the accounting area to support the water efficiency program in household consumption. The role of accounting demonstrates that measurement is important for understanding the patterns of water usage as part of the accountability system to gradually change behavior.
