This is a systematic examination by the best writers in a variety of fields working on issues of how climate change affects society, and how social, economic, and political systems can, do, and should respond.
Environmentality
Human Security
Climate change poses risks to the basic needs, human rights, and core values of individuals and communities. These risks are increasingly being described as risks to human security, which contrast with the more abstract notion that climate change poses risks to national security. This article focuses on the first of the commonly agreed climate change and security issues — that is the linkages between climate change and human security. It defines …
Intergenerational Justice
Decarbonizing the Welfare State
Over the twentieth century the welfare state emerged as one of the most conspicuous features of the modern polity. Together with a market-mediated economy with concentrated private ownership of the principal productive assets, and political systems with multi-party elections and fairly extensive individual rights, the welfare state helps define the basic character of contemporary developed societies. This article focuses on linkages between clima…
Comparing State Responses
The Oxford Handbook of Climate Change and Society presents an analysis of this issue that draws on the best thinking on questions of how climate change affects human systems, and how societies can, do, and should respond. Key topics covered include the history of the issues, the social and political reception of climate science, the denial of that science by individuals and organized interests, the nature of the social disruptions caused by clima…
The Role of Religions in Activism
Although scientists present facts, in relation to climate change, often depressing and alarming ones, it is religious traditions and leaders that can motivate people to change and can offer hope in the face of such facts. As this article illustrates, religious leaders and organizations can make a difference by mobilizing followers and framing the issue in moral terms; however, they can also stymie action on climate change through their vigorous r…
Indigenous Peoples and Cultural Losses
This article discusses a variety of experiences and philosophical reflections on cultural loss under an environmental justice framework, wherein ‘environmental justice’ is broadly construed as the conceptual connections, causal relationships, and strong correlations that exist between environmental issues and social justice. Environmental justice frames social issues as environmental issues. Social and environmental issues are inseparable, co-cau…
Climate Refugees and Security
This article is concerned with one subcategory of the broader climate debate: the climate refugee. It uses the IPCC's (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) three climate change-related categories of human migration or population displacement - drought incidence, increased cyclone (hurricanes and typhoons) intensity and sealevel rise - to initially describe how this phenomenon is usually presented and categorized. The very concept of climate…
Climate Change and ‘Security’
Climate change represents a unique and novel security threat: it has the capacity to devastate human civilization if not humanity as a biological species, yet it is not produced by enemies intending to do harm to a particular state. The complexity in it makes it challenging for policy makers to assess climate change threats and consequently to prioritize resources for countering them. This article provides a clear framework for analyzing the full…
Communicating Climate Change
This article explains the behaviour of communications that have been taking place in the context of climate change and how fruitful they have been so far. It states that important insights can be gained from better understanding the way climate change has been communicated to date and how this communication has been received and interpreted. This article reveals further that communication of climate change has been less effective than one might w…
