An Introduction

The Ethics of Climate Change: An Introduction systematically and comprehensively examines the ethical issues surrounding arguably the greatest threat now facing humanity. Williston addresses important questions such as:




  • Has humanity entered the Anthropocene?

  • Is climate change primarily an ethical issue?

  • Does climate change represent a moral wrong?

  • What are the impacts of climate change?

  • What are the main causes of political inaction?

  • What is the argument for climate change denial?

  • What are intragenerational justice and intergenerational justice?

  • To what extent is climate change an economic problem?

  • Is geoengineering an ethically appropriate response to climate change?


Featuring case studies throughout, this textbook provides a philosophical introduction to an immensely topical issue studied by students within the fields of applied ethics, global justice, sustainability, geography, and politics.
