'Paul Harris provides an excellent account of the major structural, political and psychosocial causes of the climate crisis and the failures of climate governance - but ends positively with a shopping list of plausible policy solutions. Very accessible, often provocative, sometimes depressing, but always engaging, this should be read by everyone interested in climate politics.' Neil Carter, University of York 'In this book, Paul Harris provides a thought-provoking analysis of the instincts and behaviours that governance systems and societies will need to confront if they are to succeed in controlling the most serious impacts of climate change. Its accessible writing style and clear lines of argumentation will make it a useful resource for academics, decision-makers and students of the politics of climate change.' Ian Bailey, University of Plymouth 'Highly recommended.' M. E. Carranza, Choice Connect 'a very timely book … The book is a great overview of climate change governance … [it] could be used as a climate policy textbook and would be of interest to anyone concerned with global climate governance policy.' Richard Smardon, Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences
