Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Climate change will
bring great suffering to communities, individuals and ecosystems.
Those least responsible for the problem will suffer the most.
Justice demands urgent action to reverse its causes and impacts. In
this provocative new book, Paul G. Harris brings together original
essays to explore innovative approaches to understanding and
implementing climate justice in the future. Through investigations
informed by theories from philosophy, politics, sociology, law and
economics, this Research Agenda reveals the actors most responsible
for climate change and suggests concrete proposals for more
effective mitigation. Addressing the distribution of scarce
resources and the disproportionate responsibility of affluent
nations and people, this insightful book asserts that climate
change is a matter of equity, fairness and social and distributive
justice. It argues that climate change is shaping up to be the
greatest injustice in all of human history. This analytical and
thought-provoking Research Agenda will be a valuable tool for
climate change researchers while its interdisciplinary approach
will appeal to students and academics researching in the fields of
global environmental politics, sustainability, international
relations, environmental philosophy and law. The examination of the
key questions of climate justice from global through to individual
levels will also aid policy-makers, practitioners and activists.
