Governance & Climate Justice

This book builds upon a successful first edition to provide a renewed account of climate justice and governance. This second edition book examines international climate change mitigation and adaptation regimes with the aim of proposing fair climate stability implementation strategies. Based on the current endeavors to finance climate justice around the world, the author sophisticates a three-dimensional macroeconomic model to share the expected economic benefits and burdens of climate change equitably within society, across the globe and over time. This new edition substantiates discussions of the theoretical foundations of climate justice. The innovatively adopted ‘Climate Wealth of Nature’ angle introduces new chapters on green finance and how to measure the economic wealth in nature as well as highlights the environmental impacts of financial crises and political frictions. Revised and extended data presents new indices for climate wealth redistribution strategies in order to derive recommendations for scientists, global governance practitioners and stakeholders. Julia Puaschunder conducts research at Columbia University and is a faculty member at the International University of Monaco. The second edition benefits from her recent training in Law & Economics and research funded by the OMNES Education Group.
