The volatility of climate change is increasing. It is bad news, and
many climatologists, policy analysts and environmental groups
regard the West as the largest contributor to the problems caused
by climate change. This book raises questions concerning the
systemic and cultural reasons for Western countries' unwillingness
to bear full responsibility for their carbon emissions. Is the
Western paradigm failing? Can other cultures offer solutions? Are
there alternatives for designing a better future? Just as the roots
of the problem of climate change are cultural, the solution must be
too. The contributors to Global Ethics on Climate Change explore
cultural alternatives. This differs from conventional climate
ethics, which tends to address the crisis with utilitarian,
legalistic, and analytic tools. The authors in this volume doubt
whether such paradigm patches will work. It may be time to think
outside the box and consider non-Western insights about the good
life, indigenous wisdom on being-in-the-world, and new ideas for
civil evolution. This book is an examination of candidates for a
Plan B. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal
of Global Ethics.
