Climate change and future justice: precaution, compensation and triage

This book develops the first worked out Rawlsian approach to intergenerational climate justice. The literature on climate justice and ethics is in its infancy: there are few existing substantial theories of climate justice, and no well defined conceptual landscape in which any new theory can be nested. Thus, the work in this book is genuinely frontier and ground breaking: its approaches had to be worked up entirely from scratch, and without reliance on the similarly focused efforts of others. Work of this nature is inevitably far more time consuming than that which works within existing traditions and well established debates.
