Contemporary Climate Change Debates is an innovative new textbook
which tackles some of the difficult questions raised by climate
change. For the complex policy challenges surrounding climate
migration, adaptation and resilience, structured debates become
effective learning devices for students. This book is organised around
15 important questions, and is split into four parts: What do we need
to know? What should we do? On what grounds should we base our
actions? Who should be the agents of change? Each debate is addressed
by pairs of one or two leading or emerging academics who present
opposing viewpoints. Through this format the book is designed to
introduce students of climate change to different arguments prompted
by these questions, and also provides a unique opportunity for them to
engage in critical thinking and debate amongst themselves. Each
chapter concludes with suggestions for further reading and with
discussion questions for use in student classes. Drawing upon the
sciences, social sciences and humanities to debate these ethical,
cultural, legal, social, economic, technological and political
roadblocks, Contemporary Debates on Climate Change is essential
reading for all students of climate change, as well as those studying
environmental policy and politics and sustainable development more
broadly.
