Full Description
This topical book outlines one of the most ubiquitous challenges facing humanity and the planet today: the damaging impact of anthropogenic climate change. Humanizing the climate debate, it discusses solutions to the crisis and devises a moral framework centered on justice and equality.
The expert contributing authors find environmental justice at the intersection of human stability, accountability, rights, and dignity, and examine it across distributional, recognitional, and procedural justice dimensions and a capabilities approach. To advance tangible solutions to climate change, they recommend a plan of action which is sensitive to issues of implementation for vulnerable populations, such as discrimination, inequality, and injustice. Chapters call for practical and moral responses from politicians, corporations, and institutions who have the power and capacity to engage in non-partisan united action. Ultimately, the book engages with the complexity of environmental justice to understand the intersectional, multi-scalar, embedded nature of the problem.
Interdisciplinary in scope, this book is invaluable to students and scholars of climate change; environmental governance, regulation, politics, and policy; international relations; sustainable development studies and human geography. It is also a useful resource for policy advisors and activists concerned with climate change and environmental justice.
