N2  - The ethics of climate governance is of critical importance to current debates in climate justice, yet until now it has been largely neglected.  This book explores the ethical dimensions of bringing the threat of global warming under effective political control.  It addresses problems of domination and vulnerability in international climate negotiations, democratic legitimacy and equity in climate governance, strategies for dealing with gridlock in climate governance, and new problems of governance raised by the technologies of geoengineering and biomass incineration.  This hugely important and timely collection of essays showcases the latest work by established and the best emerging scholars in this field, striking out in a new direction in the climate justice debate
