Please join us for a discussion of What Climate Justice Means and Why We Should Care (2022), in which philosopher Elizabeth Cripps approaches climate justice not just as an abstract idea but as something that should motivate us all. Using clear reasoning and poignant examples, Cripps starts from the irrefutable science and uncontroversial moral rules then goes on the explore our obligations to each other and to the nonhuman world. She unravels the legacy of colonialism and entrenched racism, and makes the case for immediate action. Cripps argues that we owe it to our fellow humans \u2013 and other species \u2013 to protect them from the catastrophic harm caused by the climate crisis.<\/p>\n
