Description
Climate Change Justice by Eric A. Posner and David Weisbach is a thought-provoking contribution to the climate justice debate. The authors argue that addressing both climate change and economic justice are essential, but they propose a crucial distinction: a global climate treaty should not aim to redistribute wealth or address historical injustices. Instead, Posner and Weisbach suggest four key principles for designing an effective climate treaty. This forward-looking agreement would require every country to make greenhouse-gas reductions while still making each nation better off in its own view. By focusing on this approach, the authors believe that a climate treaty can effectively control climate change and improve global welfare. By examining the relationship between climate change and economic justice, Posner and Weisbach provide a clear and concise framework for designing a successful climate treaty.
