This collection of provocative essays re-evaluates the world's
failed policy responses to climate change, in the process
demonstrating how cosmopolitan ethics can inform global
environmental governance. A cosmopolitan worldview points to
climate-related policies that are less 'international' and more
'global'. From a cosmopolitan perspective, national borders should
not delineate obligations and responsibilities associated with
climate change. Human beings, rather than the narrow interests of
nation-states, ought to be at the center of moral calculations and
policy responses to climate change. In this volume, expert
contributors examine questions of individual and global
responsibility, burden sharing among people and states,
international law and environmental justice, capitalism and
voluntary action, pluralist cooperation and hegemony, and
alternative approaches to climate action and diplomacy. The book
helps to illuminate new principles for global environmental policy
that can come from cosmopolitan conceptions of climate change.
Ethics and Global Environmental Policy should be read by scholars,
students, policy makers, activists and analysts in the fields of
climate change, international ethics, environmental policy,
international environmental diplomacy, global environmental
politics and environmental studies. Government officials,
nongovernmental actors, and informed readers concerned about
climate change and global justice will also find much to interest
them in this book. Contributors include: N. Dower, R. Felli, P.S.
Golub, P.G. Harris, M.W. Howard, J. Kent, J.-P. Marechal, R.
Paehlke, S. Vanderheiden
