The Ethics of Climate Change: An Introduction systematically and comprehensively examines the ethical issues surrounding arguably the greatest threat now facing humanity. Williston addresses important questions such as:

Has humanity entered the Anthropocene?
Is climate change primarily an ethical issue?
Does climate change represent a moral wrong?
What are the impacts of climate change?
What are the main causes of political inaction?
What is the argument for climate change denial?
What are intragenerational justice and intergenerational justice?
To what extent is climate change an economic problem?
Is geoengineering an ethically appropriate response to climate change?

Featuring case studies throughout, this textbook provides a philosophical introduction to an immensely topical issue studied by students within the fields of applied ethics, global justice, sustainability, geography, and politics.
