Description

Environmental Ethics: A Very Short Introduction by Robin Attfield This introduction to environmental ethics explores the values and principles involved in addressing environmental problems such as pollution, species loss, and climate change. As human activities continue to threaten the environment, understanding the importance of making decisions informed by future generations' needs is crucial. Attfield examines various approaches to ethical decision-making, including Deep Ecology, Social Ecology, Environmental Justice, and the Green movement, as well as the attitudes of different religions towards the environment. He also discusses climate change and proposals for climate engineering, emphasizing that responsibility for the environment lies with all individuals, from governments and corporations to individuals themselves. By tracing the origins of environmental ethics as a discipline, Attfield highlights the need for sustainable production and consumption processes, population management, and policies for preserving species and their habitats. This book provides a concise overview of the subject, essential for anyone looking to understand the complex issues surrounding our environment.
