Climate Adaptation Through Environmental Justice

‘Sarkin’s latest book looks the climate emergency straight in the eye and calls it out for what it is: unfair, undignified and unnecessary. Comparing outcomes in Canada, South Africa and the United States provides an unparalleled parallax view of the vast ways in which climate policies disadvantage the vulnerable and the indigenous, and what to do about it.’ – James R. May, Washburn University, USA
‘A meticulously researched and thought-provoking work that enriches the global discourse on environmental justice and the rights of Indigenous and minority groups. Offering sharp insights into how climate policy intersects with equity across different legal systems, this book is a must-read for anyone committed to justice in the era of climate crisis.’ – Andrea Mensi, Catholic University of Milan, Italy
‘In his careful and characteristically meticulous style, Jeremy Sarkin, one of the world’s premier human rights scholars, takes us to the intersection of environmental justice and climate rights. With detailed and in-depth analyses of climate and environmental practice and law in the US, Canada, and South Africa, Sarkin asks us to assess the capacity of law to protect the world’s most vulnerable peoples from this existential threat. This thoroughly researched, yet eminently readable, book provides us with the tools we need to understand the complex and intersectional nature of the problems we face and, hopefully, seek the best course ahead.’ – Erin Daly, Widener University Delaware Law School, USA
