The Ethical Underpinnings of Climate Economics

This book, which brings together scholars from both economics and ethical theory, explores the interrelation between climate ethics and economics. Examining a wide range of topics including sustainability, conceptions of value, risk management and the monetization of harm, this book will explore the ethical limitations of economic analysis but, at the same time, will not assume that economic theory cannot accommodate the concerns raised.This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental ethics, economics, political science, political philosophy and the philosophy of economics.
