It is already clear that climate engineering raises numerous troubling ethical issues. The pertinent question yet to be addressed is how the ethical issues raised by climate engineering compare to those raised by alternative proposals for tackling climate change.
This volume is the first to put the ethical issues raised by climate engineering into a comprehensive, comparative context so that the key ethical challenges of these technologies can be better measured against those of alternative climate policies . Addressing the topic specifically through the lens of justice, contributors include both advocates of climate intervention research and its sceptics. The volume includes a helpful blend of the theoretical and the practical, with contributions from authors in philosophy, engineering, public policy, social science, geography, sustainable development studies, economics, and climate studies. This cross-disciplinary collection provides the start of an important and more contextualized “second generation” analysis of climate engineering and the difficult public policy decisions that lie ahead.

Christopher Preston has emerged as a leading philosopher of the ethics of climate engineering. In this new collection of essays, he has brought together a diverse group of thinkers and analysts from across three continents who wrestle with the complex question, ‘In what ways might it be just to deliberately engineer the world’s climate?’ Preston’s Climate Justice and Geoengineering shows that in the Anthropocene the human ability to transform nature will always likely exceed our confidence in whether it is morally right to do so.
