Excellent- More about Engineering and Governing the Climate: Ethical and Political Issues
Engineering and Governing the Climate: Ethical and Political Issues explores climate engineering technologies and risks, political and ethical issues, and international coordination in engineering projects. It situates climate engineering within the Anthropocene and provides an evaluative framework for assessing methods. It also reviews the justifications for and oppositions to climate engineering R&D and deployment and offers a taxonomy of the different methods of climate engineering.

Geoengineering is gaining prominence as a potential solution to address climate change. Despite efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, societies and governments have yet to achieve sufficient reductions. This book introduces readers to the concepts and methods of climate engineering, including technologies, risks, and ethical considerations. It explores the arguments for and against climate engineering, the uncertainties of geoengineering technologies, international coordination in engineering projects, and the duties towards future generations. The book also examines global cases such as reforestation efforts, melting ice in the Arctic regions, forest fires, coral reef destruction, and more.
One of the distinctive features of the book is its situating of climate engineering within the broader context of the Anthropocene. It establishes an evaluative framework for assessing climate engineering methods from three angles: feasibility, permissibility, and preferability. The book also provides a taxonomy of the different methods of climate engineering, including carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management.
A structured and critical review of the different justifications for and oppositions to climate engineering R&D as well as deployment is also included. The book explores the engineering and governing of the climate, addressing ethical and political issues related to climate engineering.
Engineering and Governing the Climate: Ethical and Political Issues is an essential read for anyone working in environmental studies, climate policy, or building a sustainable future. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field and offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with climate engineering.
In conclusion, geoengineering is a promising approach to addressing climate change, but it requires careful consideration of its ethical and political implications. This book provides a valuable resource for understanding the concepts and methods of climate engineering and the challenges and opportunities associated with it. By situating climate engineering within the broader context of the Anthropocene, establishing an evaluative framework, providing a taxonomy of methods, reviewing justifications and oppositions, and exploring the engineering and governing of the climate, the book offers a comprehensive and critical analysis of the field. It is essential reading for anyone working in environmental studies, climate policy, or building a sustainable future.
