However, this would be a serious mistake. By dooming effective international limits on greenhouse gases, such an approach would actually make the world's poor and developing nations far worse off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the provocative and original argument of \u003cem\u003eClimate Change Justice\u003c\/em\u003e. Eric Posner and David Weisbach strongly favour both a climate change agreement and efforts to improve economic justice. However, they make a powerful case that the best—and possibly only—way to secure an effective climate treaty is to exclude measures designed to redistribute wealth or address historical wrongs against underdeveloped countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn clear language, \u003cem\u003eClimate Change Justice\u003c\/em\u003e proposes four basic principles for designing the only kind of climate treaty that will work—a forward-looking agreement that requires every country to make greenhouse-gas reductions while still making every country better off in its own view. This kind of treaty has the best chance of actually controlling climate change and improving the welfare of people around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854246891756,"sku":"9780691166667","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1653813482434.jpg?v=1759238756","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/climate-change-justice-by-eric-a-posner-9780691166667","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
