Collecting knowledge, personal stories, and practical insights from experts across a dozen specialties, this volume shows how we can adapt to climate change in order to protect the most vulnerable among us. Grappling with a complex range of topics including risk, migration, and societal inequality, the authors take a constructive approach that balances realism with actionable solutions. They look back across human history for lessons that still matter today, particularly the importance of building a supportive and committed community to nourish hope. Without losing sight of the scale of the challenge, the volume chronicles the opportunities to mitigate environmental impacts and to leverage the challenge as impetus for broader transformations of society.
Written in an accessible, non-technical style, Climate Change: What Must Be Done? is a must-read for students, policymakers, and environmentally conscious individuals who want to know how to make a difference.
Philip Clayton is the Ingraham Professor emeritus at Claremont School of Theology, USA and the founding president of the Institute for Ecological Civilization. His more than two dozen written and edited books explore the intersections between science, philosophy, religion, and ethics. His science-based research and talks have focused on theoretical biology, the environmental sciences, and ecology. Jaeha Woo is an Assistant Professor of philosophy of religion and general education at Evangelia University, USA. A specialist in the moral psychology of Immanuel Kant and Søren Kierkegaard, his work reflects on how people can sustain the motivation to persist in addressing global challenges such as climate change.
