The ways in which we deal with the environment have become a central topic as well in the sciences and academia, as in society in recent years. Not only debates over sustainability, but also many specific (global) challenges such as how to manage resources or climate change have made this very clear. This volume places the questions and issues that arise on four different levels: basic research in environmental ethics; environmental ethics and the political and legal field; ecological challenges and their ethical aspects; and cultural aspects of environmental ethics. The volume is completed by a view on the prospects for a future ethics of the environment.

Analysing and synthesising vast data sets from a multitude of disciplines including climate science, economics, hydrology and agricultural research, this volume seeks new methods of combining climate change mitigation, adaptation, development, and poverty reduction in ways that are effective, efficient and equitable. A guiding principle of the project is that new alliances of state and non-state sector partners are urgently required to establish cooperative responses to the threats posed by climate change. This volume offers a vital policy framework for linking our response to this change with progressive principles of global justice and sustainable development.
