Abstract

This book offers a critical exploration of climate justice, bringing together diverse perspectives from a wide range of regions and disciplines including law, political science, anthropology, environmental sciences, and economics. It addresses the intersection of environmental, social, and economic issues, highlighting the profound inequalities amplified by the climate crisis. Through theoretical critiques and concrete case studies from different regions, it emphasizes how global politics shape local realities and showcases the voices of those resisting structural injustices. It not only deepens the understanding of climate justice but also proposes practical solutions and alternatives, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of climate change, human rights, development, and social movements. With its interdisciplinary approach and global scope, this book will appeal to anyone seeking to engage critically and constructively with the most pressing issues of our time. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
