Reviews

Climate ethics, a field pioneered by philosophers, has now arrived in the world of politics. This collection of essays makes clear that there will be no effective climate governance without ethics and also provides an important starting point in addressing the central issues. -- Dale Jamieson, Professor of Environmental Studies, University of New York Climate governance is the most pressing political issue of our time, and ethics is right at the heart of it. This interesting and timely new collection, with its emphasis on an exciting new generation of authors in climate ethics, helps us to think more clearly about what matters. -- Stephen Gardiner, Professor of Philosophy, University of Washington
