“This book is quintessential Sunstein: engaging prose, wise insights, useful parables, and crucial policy context, all on the important topic of how the world effectively and equitably addresses climate change.”
Catherine Wolfram, William Barton Rogers Professor inEnergy and Applied Economics, MIT Sloan
“Climate Justice compellingly argues for a cosmopolitan approach to climate change, in which rich nations take seriously the harms they have inflicted on poor nations and respect future generations' interests as much as our own.”
Lisa Heinzerling, Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center; coauthor of Priceless: On Knowing the Price of Everything and the Value of Nothing
“Cass Sunstein's masterful book provides a top-level policy briefing on climate change policy coupled with an insightful examination of diverse ethical challenges. Climate Justice is the one book that everyone engaged in climate change policy must read.”
W. Kip Viscusi, University Distinguished Professor of Law, Economics, and Management, Vanderbilt University; author of Pricing Lives: Guideposts for a Safer Society
“With direct and ruthless prose, Sunstein turns the ethical screw on those responsible for climate change. An effective demonstration of how to blend climate ethics and policy, all nourished by a relentless sense of humanity.”
Christopher J. Preston, Professor of Philosophy, University of Montana; author of Tenacious Beasts
“A powerful and deeply moral guide, enriched by theoretical chops and years of experience in government, through the defining issue of our era: in an age of global warning, who are our neighbors, and what do we owe them?”
Esther Duflo, Nobel Laureate; Abdul Latif Jameel Professor of Poverty Alleviation and Development Economics, MIT
“Justice is at the center of all difficult discussions about climate change policy, whether domestically or internationally. Sunstein brings his incisive intellect to bear on these issues, addressing them with his usual wit and clarity.”
Gilbert E. Metcalf, Professor of Economics Emeritus, Tufts University; author of Paying for Pollution
“Scholarly excellence. Sunstein's analysis is always unbendingly rigorous. But Climate Justice subjects Sunstein's own prior views to such scrutiny and embraces a strikingly new view of the primacy of “rough justice” in addressing climate change.”
Richard J. Lazarus, Charles Stebbins Fairchild Professor of Law, Harvard Law School; author of The Making of Environmental Law
