This book examines the threat that climate change poses to the projects of poverty eradication, sustainable development, and biodiversity preservation.

A climate crisis and other pressures on planetary ecology are cause for profound anxiety. Climate change threatens to trap hundreds of millions of people in poverty and to separate further an already deeply divided world. Now, a new generation of activists is offering inspiration and hope. This book provides an accessible and empirically informed philosophical discussion of climate change, global poverty, and the importance of a political response that offers hope.

Exploring the moral foundations of institutions, this book delves into social justice and the responsibilities individuals have toward others, particularly in an international context. It examines the justification and practical implications of duties of justice owed to noncompatriots, highlighting the complexities of moral obligations in a globalized world.

This volume features papers on global justice from a mini-conference held by the American Philosophical Association in 2004. It showcases a range of theoretical and applied issues, reflecting the growing interest in the field and the resurgence of cosmopolitanism. The selected papers highlight the current debates and emerging topics in global justice.
