An examination of shifting global power dynamics in climate change
politics, and how this affects our ability to achieve equitable and
sustainable climate outcomes. After nearly a quarter century of
international negotiations on climate change, we stand at a
crossroads. A new set of agreements is likely to fail to prevent
the global climate's destabilization. Islands and coastlines face
inundation, and widespread drought, flooding, and famine are
expected to worsen in the poorest and most vulnerable countries.
How did we arrive at an entirely inequitable and scientifically
inadequate international response to climate change? In Power in a
Warming World, David Ciplet, J. Timmons Roberts, and Mizan Khan,
bring decades of combined experience as negotiators, researchers,
and activists to bear on this urgent question. Combining rich
empirical description with a political economic view of power
relations, they document the struggles of states and social groups
most vulnerable to a changing climate and describe the emergence of
new political coalitions that take climate politics beyond a simple
North-South divide. They offer six future scenarios in which power
relations continue to shift as the world warms. A focus on
incremental market-based reform, they argue, has proven
insufficient for challenging the enduring power of fossil fuel
interests, and will continue to be inadequate without a bolder,
more inclusive and aggressive response.
