Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice (Routledge Environment and Sustainability Handbooks)

"The term 'climate justice' began to gain traction in the late 1990s following a wide range of activities by social and environmental justice movements that emerged in response to the operations of the fossil fuel industry and, later, to what their members saw as the failed global climate governance model that became so transparent at COP15 in Copenhagen. The term continues to gain momentum in discussions around sustainable development, climate change, mitigation and adaptation, and has been slowly making its way into the world of international and national policy. However, the connections between these remain unestablished. Addressing the need for a comprehensive and integrated reference compendium, The Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice provides students, academics, and professionals with a valuable insight into this fast-growing field. Drawing together a multidisciplinary range of authors from the Global North and South, this Handbook addresses some of the most salient topics in current climate justice research, including just transition, urban climate justice, and public engagement, in addition to the field's more traditional focus on gender, international governance and climate ethics. With an emphasis on facilitating learning based on cutting-edge specialised climate justice research and application, each chapter draws from the most recent sources, real-world best practices and tutored reflections on the strategic dimensions of climate justice and its related disciplines. The Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice will be essential reading for students and scholars, as well as being a vital reference tool for those practically engaged in the field"-- Provided by publisher Cover Half Title Title Copyright Contents List of figures List of tables List of contributors Acknowledgements 1 Introduction: justice in the era of climate change PART I Theories of climate justice 2 On the evolution and continuing development of the climate justice movement 3 On inquiry into climate justice 4 Fact-insensitive thought experiments in climate ethics: exemplified by Parfit’s non-identity problem 5 A narrative account of temporality in climate justice PART II Climate justice governance, policy and litigation 6 Global political processes and the Paris Agreement: a case of advancement or retreat of climate justice? 7 Statehood in an era of sinking islands 8 Reimagining development practice: mainstreaming justice into planning frameworks 9 Climate justice in the UK: reconciling climate change and equity issues in policy and practice in a developed country context 10 Equity and justice in climate change law and policy: a role for benefit-sharing 11 Leading from the bench: the role of judges in advancing climate justice and lessons from South Asia PART III Climate justice, finance and business 12 Climate finance: moral theory and political practice 13 The inter-relationship between climate finance and climate justice in the UNFCCC 14 Carbon pricing and climate justice: design elements for effective, efficient and equitable greenhouse gas emissions reductions 15 Sharing the burden of climate change via climate finance and business models PART IV Just transition 16 From the dirty past to the clean future: addressing historic energy injustices with a just transition to a low-carbon future 17 Just energy?
