Addressed in critical detail by a refreshingly diverse range of authors, this book offers the first comprehensive treatment of climate justice in tourism. Crucially, it does so in ways that reach beyond carbon emissions to attend to the systemic injustices of anthropocentrism, colonialism, neoliberalism and globalisation. This book should be compulsory reading for those with interests in, and responsibilities for, reshaping tourism development in respect to equity and justice.
