Large-scale assessments, such as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), have been crucial in advancing our understanding of climate change. They have affirmed that reducing greenhouse-gas emissions is urgently needed to avoid its disastrous consequences and that we possess the scientific knowledge and technical ability to meet that challenge. Citizens around the world are concerned about climate change and are willing to do something about it. What stands in the way of action? Climate Obstruction systematically addresses the complex, organized, and well-funded set of actors who have actively resisted and undermined policy efforts to address climate change. This volume assembles nearly one hundred top experts from around the world to make the case that as climate action becomes globalized, efforts to obstruct it have become more deceptive, widespread, better funded, and dangerous. Contributors review and analyze the obstruction efforts undertaken by fossil-fuel industries, utilities, the transportation sector, agribusinesses, public-relations firms, and organizations on the political far right. They also examine the role and effects of the media in disseminating climate disinformation and misinformation, and how these narratives potentially affect public opinion on climate action. They assess how obstruction of climate action occurs across the Global South, at the subnational level, at the United Nations and in the IPCC, and in the context of climate adaptation, concluding with a discussion of legal, state, and non-state efforts to address climate obstruction.Providing a first-of-its-kind assessment of global climate obstruction, this volume advances our understanding of efforts to slow or block policies on climate change, which can guide more effective action to prevent obstruction in the future.

An urgent, illuminating exploration of the social nature of shame, and of the ways in which it might be used, sparingly and pointedly, to promote political change and social reform.
In cultures that champion the individual, guilt is advertised as the cornerstone of conscience. Yet while guilt holds individuals to personal standards, it proves impotent in the face of corrupt corporate policies. In recent years, we have been asked to assuage our guilt about these problems as consumers, by buying organic foods or fair trade products, for example. Yet, unless nearly everyone participates, the impact of individual consumer consciousness is microscopic. Jennifer Jacquet persuasively argues that the solution to the limitations of guilt can be found in shame, retrofitted for the age of democracy and social media. She demonstrates how shaming can function as a nonviolent form of resistance that, in turn, challenges institutions, organizations, and even governments to actuate large-scale change. She argues that when applied in the right way, the right quantity, and at the right time, shame has the capacity to keep us from failing other species in life''s fabric and, ultimately, ourselves.

In Is Shame Necessary? rising star Jennifer Jacquet shows that we have to use shame if we want to bring about political change and hold the powerful to accountIn cultures that champion the individual, guilt is seen as the cornerstone of conscience yet it proves impotent in the face of corrupt corporate policies. Jennifer Jacquet persuasively argues that modern-day shaming is a non-violent form of resistance that can be used to bring about large-scale change. Shaming, Jacquet shows, works best when used sparingly, but when applied in just the right way and at just the right time, it can keep us from failing ourselves.

+++ Schämt euch – und verändert die Welt! +++Wieder mit Plastiktüten nach Hause gekommen? Das Billig-T-Shirt aus dem Discounter war einfach zu günstig? Schon wieder Essensreste weggeworfen? – Es gibt viele Gründe, sich zu schämen. Und ebenso viele Gründe, endlich etwas zu ändern.Die Umweltwissenschaftlerin Jennifer Jacquet untersucht, inwiefern das Schamgefühl unser gesellschaftliches Miteinander bestimmt. Spannend und leicht verständlich erklärt sie die Ursprünge und die Evolution dieses für uns alle prägenden Gefühls. Sie macht deutlich, wie wichtig es ist, dass wir uns schämen – denn mit der Scham kommt die Erkenntnis. So entsteht ein brillanter Gegenentwurf zu allen bisherigen Einschätzungen dieses uralten Begleiters: Jacquet zeigt, wie wir über das Schamgefühl gesteuert werden und es als politisches Werkzeug für eine bessere Welt benutzen können.Ein äußerst kluges und provozierendes Buch einer der interessantesten jungen Wissenschaftlerinnen unserer Zeit.
