Explores the complex ethical dilemmas of human mobility in the
context of climate changeCurrently, adaptation policy for climate
change prioritises economic and technological dimensions of
governance and action. Now, Elaine Kelly brings continental theory
into the conversation to explore the ethical dilemmas stemming from
emerging global political crises of migration, displacement and
communal relocation related to climate change. She argues that, in
the era of anthropocentric climate change, an 'ethos of dwelling'
must underpin adaptation practices. Key FeaturesThe first focused
engagement to apply deconstruction and Levinasian ethics to the
pressing and complex dilemmas of climate change and human
mobilityDetailed case studies of Bangladesh, the Torres Strait
Islands and Queensland in Australia and New Orleans in the US bring
into sharp focus the ethics and politics of adapting to climate
change and how this universal phenomenon is experienced unevenly by
the poor and marginalisedInterdisciplinary and multi-methodological
approach, relevant to disciplines from cultural studies to
philosophy and from ecohumanities to international relations
