Empirical evidence unpacks grounded vulnerabilities and reveals their temporal socio-economic impacts. A novel concept of \u003ci\u003e'everyday disasters' \u003c\/i\u003eis proposed - supported by data and photographic evidence - that contests institutional disaster definition. Then it uncovers how the geopolitics of ecological governance and its hegemonic discourse dominate local policies, which in turn fail to address local socio-ecological concerns, adaptation needs and development aspirations. Absence of local vocabularies, cognitive values and socio-cultural contexts along with spatially constricted, exclusionary, top-down techno-science approaches further escalate knowledge-action gaps. Deconstruction of multiscalar conflicts between the global rhetoric and transformative postcolonial geographies offers an ethical, Southern perspective of sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45091942301847,"sku":"9783319638911","price":10069.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319638911.webp?v=1769205331","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sustainability-conflicts-in-coastal-india-hazards-changing-climate-and-development-discourses-in-the-sundarbans-9783319638911","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
