Routledge Handbook of Applied Climate Change Ethics

<p>The <i>Routledge Handbook of Applied Climate Change Ethics </i>is a powerful reference source for the identification and exploration of the underlying ethical issues in climate change law and policy. Bridging theory with practice it takes ethical engagement out of the classroom and into the halls of governance.</p><p>The <i>Handbook</i>‘s 39 chapters--written by a diverse and inter-disciplinary team of experts from around the world--are case studies divided into five parts. Parts I-IV highlight the ethical issues that arise in climate change policy formation from duties not to harm to duties to consider the views and voices of those who will be or are being harmed; from the role of human rights justice and democracy to how to identify and respond to disinformation and denialism. It also raises the ethics of various policy responses such as cap-and-trade carbon taxing and geo-engineering. Part V offers a way forward with strategies on how to expressly consider ethics in climate change policy formation from negotiations to education media communication and the power and potential of shaming.</p><p>The volume is essential reading for students professors and practitioners who wish to better engage with government and non-government organizations on climate policy to better understand the practical application of the theory and philosophy of ethics and how to more strongly draft and defend ethical action in negotiating drafting and defending climate change law and policy.</p>
