Description

Contemporary Climate Change Debates is a new textbook that tackles some of the complex questions surrounding climate change. It presents debates on key issues such as policy challenges, adaptation and resilience, using structured discussions to help students engage with different arguments.

The book is organised around 15 important questions, divided into four parts: What do we need to know? What should we do? On what grounds should we base our actions? Who should be the agents of change? Each debate is addressed by pairs of leading or emerging academics presenting opposing viewpoints, providing a unique opportunity for students to engage in critical thinking and debate.

With suggestions for further reading and discussion questions, this book is ideal for students studying climate change, environmental policy and politics, as well as those interested in sustainable development. It draws on the sciences, social sciences and humanities to explore the ethical, cultural, legal, social, economic, technological and political roadblocks associated with climate change.
