This book explores the role of the insurance industry in
contributing to, and responding to, the harms that climate change
has brought and will bring either directly or indirectly. The
Anthropocene signifies a new role for humankind: we are the only
species that has become a driving force in the planetary system.
What might criminology be in the Anthropocene? What does the
Anthropocene suggest for future theory and practice of criminology?
Criminology and Climate, as part of Routledge's Criminology at the
Edge Series, seeks to contribute to this research agenda by
exploring differing vantage points relevant to thinking within
criminology. Contemporary societies are presented with myriad
intersecting and interacting climate-related harms at multiple
scales. Criminology and Climate brings attention to the finance
sector, with a particular focus on the insurance industry as one of
its most significant components, in both generating and responding
to new climate 'harmscapes'. Bringing together thought leaders from
a variety of disciplines, this book considers what finance and
insurance have done and might still do, as 'fulcrum institutions',
to contribute to the realisation of safe and just planetary spaces.
An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to
students and scholars of criminology, sociology, law and
environmental studies and provides readers with a basis to analyse
the challenges and opportunities for the finance sector, and in
particular the insurance industry, in the regulation of climate
harms.
