Le changement climatique soulève de redoutables problèmes de justice : il rend nécessaire la réinterprétation de concepts moraux traditionnels, comme la nuisance et la responsabilité, et nous pousse chercher de nouveaux concepts normatifs, comme l'Anthropocène. Par-là, il nous oblige à inventer des dispositifs politiques, économiques et sociaux adaptés, alors même que rien ne garantit que nos théories morales revisitées nous permettront de comprendre toutes les questions éthiques soulevées par le changement climatique. Et que rien ne garantit non plus qu'une réforme de nos institutions parviendra à éviter les nuisances irréversibles. Mais ne pas prendre ces défis au sérieux augmenterait le risque de déclencher un changement climatique catastrophique et de réaliser les scénarios les plus injustes pour les plus pauvres, les générations futures, ainsi que pour les êtres vivants non humains dont la responsabilité nous incombe désormais.

This volume’s interdisciplinary research is based on the premise that we live an unsustainable global lifestyle. Finding ways to better inhabit our world is a challenge not only for scientists but also for civil society. One means of achieving sustainability is through promoting Environmental Justice. This volume contains both theoretical and case study analyses that propose methods for achieving and managing global environmental justice. Creating such an environmental equilibrium is a difficult goal, but the tools for reaching it simultaneously respond to many other challenging questions of the contemporary world. The ideal of just, sustainable development can induce efforts for solving inequity problems across many sectors.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This timely Research Agenda highlights how slow violence, unlike other forms of conflict and direct, physical violence, is difficult to see and measure. It explores ways in which geographers study, analyze and draw attention to forms of harm and violence that have often not been at the forefront of public awareness, including slow violence affecting children, women, Indigenous peoples, and the environment.Demonstrating a range of research methods and theoretical perspectives, this Research Agenda looks at the topic of slow violence through qualitative fieldwork, document analysis, geospatial technologies and cartographic analysis and representation. Key case studies consider slow violence in the form of social injustice, environmental alteration, and harmful human-environment interactions. The chapters also highlight how physical infrastructure, social and legal practices, places that have experienced armed conflict, and groups of people being labeled or marginalised can foster forms of slow violence.Scholars and students of human geography, particularly those looking at decolonization, environmental and social justice and different geographic methods for research, will find this book to be a beneficial read. It will also be useful for those studying structural harm and indirect violence more widely.

"Blood into Water: A Case of Social Justice is a novel that weaves together the past and the present, from Mayan legends to contemporary stories of corporate greed. The story connects a mother and son, Sofia and Miguel Rodríguez, to a corporate scheme of exploitation uncovered by reporter Caleb Barthes. Barthes is sent to Nicaragua on an investigative assignment to look into water privatization plans. He learns far more than he expects about the environmental, political, and cultural issues surrounding 'water.' Perhaps more importantly, he learns about postcolonial exploitation and his own complicity, as well as the loss that can follow, not only for himself, but others. This novel, inspired by the Bolivian Water Wars, offers students a creative text dealing with an environmental issue that leads to a social movement. Anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, rhetoricians, sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, as well as scholars of business, organizational communication, interpersonal communication, cultural studies and environmental studies will easily find a place in the curriculum for this novel"--
