When policies and activities within one country and generation
cause deleterious consequences for those of other nations and later
generations, they constitute serious injustices. Recognizing this,
the international climate policy development process has expressly
aimed to mitigate the pressing contemporary environmental threat in
a manner that promotes justice and avoids injustice as they attempt
to deal with anthropogenic climate change. Yet, while making
justice a primary objective of global climate policy has been its
noblest aspiration, it remains an onerous challenge for
policymakers. Atmospheric Justice is the first single-authored work
of political theory that addresses this pressing challenge via the
conceptual frameworks of justice, equality, and responsibility.
Throughout Vanderheiden carefully sets out ways to achieve
environmental justice, as he explores how climate change raises
issues of international and intergenerational justice in addition
to considering how the design of a global climate regime might take
these aims into account. Engaging with and expanding on the
principles of renowned political philosopher John Rawls to account
for future generations, Vanderheiden address the pressing issue of
global climate change via the conceptual frameworks of justice,
equality, and responsibility. Demonstrating how political theory
can usefully contribute toward a better understanding of the proper
human response to climate change, as well as how the climate case
offers insights into resolving contemporary controversies within
political theory, the book offers a case study in which the
application of normative theory to policy allows readers to
betterunderstand both. Thoroughly researched and persuasively
argued, Atmospheric Justice makes an important step toward
providing us with a set of carefully elaborated first principles
for achieving environmental justice.
