This multidisciplinary volume of international scholars tackles this lacuna by presenting novel work on non-anthropocentric approaches to climate ethics. Written in an accessible style the text incorporates sentiocentric biocentric and ecocentric perspectives on climate change.</p><p>With diverse perspectives from both leading and emerging scholars of environmental ethics geography religious studies conservation ecology and environmental studies this book will offer a valuable reading for students and scholars of these fields.</p>
