AND POLITICAL THEORY CLIMATE CHANGE AND POLIT...

Climate change is an ethical failure. Floods  fires  droughts  and extreme weather caused by
climate change are already killing people and ruining lives on a massive scale. These avoidable
impacts hurt the most vulnerable among us first  and worst. Why have we failed to prevent
climate change? How can we mobilise to do better politically  socially  and economically? Where
does the greatest responsibility for action lie? In this book  Catriona McKinnon unravels the
vital contributions made by engaged political theory to urgent climate challenges left unmet by
a lack of political will. These challenges  and our political inertia  cannot be tackled
without addressing questions of responsibility  collective duty  fairness  harm 
techno-optimism  the value of nature  and the future of humanity. McKinnon's philosophical
analysis is interwoven with discussion of the latest climate science  current politics and
policies  and emerging technologies  in order to show that we will not find acceptable routes
out of the climate crisis without the compass of political theory. Climate Change and Political
Theory provides readers of all backgrounds and levels with a lucid distillation of  and curated
guide to  the political theory and ethics of climate change.
