Series Foreword; Preface and Acknowledgments; 1 -- Trading a Livable World; 2 -- Power Shift; 3 -- Beyond the North-South Divide?; 4 -- Manufacturing Consent; 5 -- The Politics of Adaptation; 6 -- The Staying Power of Big Fossil; 7 -- Society Too Civil?; 8 -- Contesting Climate Injustice; 9 -- Power in a Future World; 10 -- Linking Movements for Justice; Notes; References; Index.
Summary: After nearly a quarter century of international negotiations on climate change, we stand at a crossroads. A new set of agreements is likely to fail to prevent the global climate's destabilization. Islands and coastlines face inundation, and widespread drought, flooding, and famine are expected to worsen in the poorest and most vulnerable countries. How did we arrive at an entirely inequitable and scientifically inadequate international response to climate change? In this book, the authors bring decades of combined experience as negotiators, researchers, and activists to bear on this urgent question.
