Legal Theory Bookworm

By Lawrence Solum

The Legal Theory Bookworm recommends Climate Ethics: Essential Readings, edited by Stephen Gardiner, Simon Caney, Dale Jamieson, and Henry Shue. Here is a description:

This collection gathers a set of seminal papers from the emerging area of ethics and climate change. Topics covered include human rights, international justice, intergenerational ethics, individual responsibility, climate economics, and the ethics of geoengineering. Climate Ethics is intended to serve as a source book for general reference, and for university courses that include a focus on the human dimensions of climate change. It should be of broad interest to all those concerned with global justice, environmental science and policy, and the future of humanity.

The contributors include Derek Parfit, Walter Sinnott Armstrong, Henry Shue, Peter Singer, and many others.
