Time is short, but it is still possible to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions before disaster overtakes us all. \u003cp\u003eRenowned philosopher Robin Attfield explains the moral reasons for urgent action based on current harms, threats to future generations, and to the species with which we share the planet. In compelling and student-friendly prose, he explores the science of climate change, biodiversity loss and air pollution, climate injustices, political implications of the crisis, and possible responses. Among other things, he argues that measures to introduce climate justice should be paid for by countries able to pay, and by the big polluters in particular. The recently agreed Loss and Damage fund can play a central part in climate funding. Related political measures, such as the introduction of Ecocide as an international crime alongside war crimes, also give cause for hope.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAttfield’s passionately argued twentieth book, \u003ci\u003eThe Ethics of the Climate Crisis,\u003c\/i\u003e is crucial reading for our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eChapter 1: Introduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: The Science of Climate Change\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Related Crises: Biodiversity Loss and Air Pollution\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Ethics, Needs and Climate Justice\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: The Victims of Climate Injustice and the Shape of Climate Justice\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Some Political Implications\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Responding to the Crises\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: The environment [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on The environment\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22The%20environment%20%5BRN%5D%22\"\u003eRN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441813680408,"sku":"9781509559084","price":45.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509559084.jpg?v=1785026875","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-ethics-of-the-climate-crisis-hardback-9781509559084","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
