Climate Justice and Feasibility

Normative Theorizing, Feasibility Constraints, and Climate Action

Edited by Sarah Kenehan and Corey Katz

This collection helps bridge the divide between the work of normative theorists and climate action (or inaction). In this volume, contributors reflect on how we should understand the relationship between theorizing about climate justice, the principles of justice that result, and feasibility constraints on climate action. Some explore the role of theorists or the usefulness of their theories for guiding policymaking and action on climate change, while others discuss concerns with who is establishing what the feasibility constraints are and how they are doing so. Others identify and discuss psychological feasibility constraints on just climate action, or draw important parallels and distinctions between the feasibility constraints that were tackled in order to address the COVID-19 pandemic and those that need to be tackled in order to respond to global climate change.

The international and interdisciplinary contributors offer a range of approaches and frameworks, to re-think the ways that concerns of justice should be considered on the policy level, speaking to students, research scholars, activists, and policymakers.

About the Contributors

Index

The contributors to this interdisciplinary collection reflect on how we should understand the relationship between principled theorizing about climate justice and feasibility constraints on climate action. Some explore the usefulness of theories for guiding policymaking and action on climate change. Others draw important parallels and distinctions between the feasibility constraints that were tackled in order to address the COVID-19 pandemic and those that need to be tackled in order to respond to global climate change. Employing a wide range of approaches and frameworks, the international contributors to this volume re-think the ways that climate justice should be considered on the policy level – by students, researchers, and policymakers.


— Yale Climate Change Connections


This is the first in a series of two volumes that explore the normative theory of climate justice and the feasibility of climate action. The 10 essays in this volume run the gamut of philosophical perspectives on the two central themes. A persistent thread running through the text (both implicitly and explicitly) is the considerable gap between the work of those who theorize issues, such as climate justice, and the practical work of policy makers who can enact change on a grand scale. Is it feasible to think that these theorists will have an impact on such politicians? More to the point, will politicians read this book? They may not, but they should. All the essays, as well as the introduction, are strong pieces that provoke thought, interest, and sometimes even anger. After all, climate affects everyone, yet it is not taken seriously by all, even those whose job it is to take it seriously. This text sets a high bar for the series, and one can hope that the second volume is of a similarly high caliber.Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
