This book develops a theory of climate cooperation designed for concerted action, which emphasises the role and function of collectives in achieving shared climate goals. In debates on climate change action, research focuses on three major goals: on mitigation, on adaptation and on transformation. Even though these goals are accepted, concerted action is still difficult to realize. Climate Justice and Collective Action provides an analysis of why this is the case and develops a theory of climate cooperation designed to overcome the existing roadblocks. Angela Kallhoff starts with a thorough analysis of failures of collective action in the context of climate change action. Taking inspiration from theories of water cooperation, she then establishes a theory of joint action that reframes climate goals as shared goals and highlights the importance of adhering to principles of fairness. This also includes an exploration of the normative claims working in the background of climate cooperation. Finally, Kallhoff puts forward proposals for a fair allocation of duties to cooperate with respect to climate goals. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate action, climate justice, environmental sociology and environmental philosophy and ethics more broadly.

This book compares how the social consequences of climate change are similarly unevenly distributed within China and the United States, despite different political systems.Focusing on the cases of Atlanta, USA, and Jinhua, China, Julia Teebken explores a set of path-dependent factors (lock-ins), which hamper the pursuit of climate adaptation by local governments to adequately address the root causes of vulnerability. Lock-ins help to explain why adaptation efforts in both locations are incremental and commonly focus on greening the environment. In both these political systems, vulnerability appears as a core component along with the reconstitution of a class-based society. This manifests in the way knowledge and political institutions operate. For this reason, Teebken challenges the argument that China’s environmental authoritarian structures are better equipped in dealing with matters related to climate change. She also interrogates the proposition that certain aspects of the liberal democratic tradition of the United States are better suited in dealing with social justice issues in the context of adaptation. Overall, the book’s findings contradict the widespread assumption that developed countries necessarily have higher adaptive capacity than developing or emerging economies.This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate justice and vulnerability, climate adaptation and environmental policy and governance.

This transdisciplinary book explores how climate extremes - specifically extreme heat and urban flooding - are experienced, governed, and resisted within African informal settlements.Focusing on the nexus of environmental stress, public health inequities, infrastructural fragility, and adaptation politics, the authors unpack how these converging crises disproportionately affect marginalised urban populations and expose the limitations of dominant climate governance models. The book takes Cape Town as its principal empirical site, particularly the informal settlements of Khayelitsha, Philippi, and Masiphumelele. These settlements serve as “urban laboratories” through which the book investigates the everyday, embodied, and gendered impacts of climate change. While deeply grounded in the Cape Town context, the book also draws comparative insights from similarly climate-vulnerable and socially complex informal settlements in Lagos (Makoko), Nairobi (Kibera and Mukuru), Accra (Agbogbloshie), and Dhaka (Korail), situating African experiences within a broader Global South urban adaptation discourse. The book is structured around eight thematic chapters, each advancing a layered understanding of climate risk and resilience through different empirical, theoretical, and methodological lenses. Through this multi-layered exploration, Climate Change, Health, and Adaptation in African Informal Settlements positions informal settlements not as passive recipients of adaptation, but as generative sites of innovation, knowledge, and political agency. It offers a compelling and much-needed intervention into both academic and policy debates, arguing that reimagining climate adaptation from the margins is not only possible—it is essential.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of urban development, climate justice, health equity, and environmental governance.
