Children born today in the Maldives may someday have to abandon
their homeland. Rising seas, caused by climate change, could
swallow most of their tiny island nation within their lifetime.
Their fate symbolizes the double inequity at the heart of climate
change: those who have contributed the least to climate change will
suffer the most from it. All is not lost, however. The scale and
impact of climate change depends on the policies that people
choose. How quickly will we eliminate our greenhouse gas emissions?
How will we do it? Who will pay for it? What will we protect
through adaptation? How will we weigh the fortunes of future
generations and the natural world against our own? Answers to
questions like these reflect a constellation of value judgments
that deserve close scrutiny. In addition to providing essential
background on the science, economics, and politics of climate
change, this book explores the values at stake in climate policy
with the aim of shrinking the gap between climate ethics and
climate policy.
