Description

There is a broad consensus that climate change presents the international community with a formidable challenge.

Yet progress on all fronts-prevention, mitigation, and adaptation-has been slow.

Ved P. Nanda finds an explanation for this disparity in the sharp divide between the developed and developing countries.

Developing countries demand that major industrialized nations provide the necessary resources and technology to address climate change, while many developed countries seek firm commitments and timetables on action from the developing countries.

The result is a stalemate. Climate Change and Environmental Ethics contains first-rate research and thinking from scholars from multiple disciplines-ethics, ecology, philosophy, economics, political science, history, and international law.

What distinguishes this volume from recent work on climate change are two of its special features.

One is the multi-disciplinary backgrounds of the scholars, their stellar experiences, and the wisdom with which they express not simply their philosophy and theory but also their suggestions for concrete, specific action in practical terms.

The second is the special niche this volume fills in its overarching theme of the need for a renewed environmental ethic that can bring together these disparate but interconnected views.

This volume explores alternative ways of conceiving our relation to the natural world.

A spirit of international cooperation and collaboration is needed to meet the challenge.

The reader is complelled to think anew about our understanding of the scientific and technical issues, as well as our values and ethical responsibilities regarding climate change.
