Description
Climate justice is a pressing concern that affects us all. Philosopher Elizabeth Cripps explores this concept in depth, examining our obligations to each other and to the non-human world in the face of catastrophic climate change. Cripps delves into the science and moral rules that underpin our responsibilities, while also addressing the legacy of colonialism and entrenched racism. She argues that climate activism is a moral duty, not a political choice, and presents a compelling case for immediate action. The book also considers solutions to the crisis, including who should bear the costs and how we can hold those in power accountable. By examining the intersection of justice, morality, and environmental protection, Cripps offers a powerful perspective on the need for collective action.
