An excellent introduction to the field, which should suit and engage a wide audience. At a time where the world as a whole urgently needs to get engaged with the ethics of climate change, this is a great place to start. Suitable for all interested people, across disciplines, institutions and in the public at large.

Morrow's book is the clearest and most compelling introduction available to the ethical challenges of climate change. It is morally serious, beautifully written, and brings vital philosophical insights to climate policy choices. This is a book for anyone seeking ideas for the best futures in the face of our climate crisis.
