About this listen
Bloomsbury presents What Climate Justice Means And Why We Should Care by Elizabeth Cripps, read by Lucinda Roberts.
We owe it to our fellow humans – and other species – to save them from the catastrophic harm caused by climate change.
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, starting from irrefutable science and uncontroversial moral rules, she explores our obligations to each other and to the non-human world, unravels the legacy of colonialism and entrenched racism, and makes the case for immediate action.
The second half of the book looks at solutions. Who should pay the bill for climate action? Who must have a say? How can we hold multinational companies, organisations – even nations – to account? Cripps argues powerfully that climate justice goes beyond political polarization. Climate activism is a moral duty, not a political choice.

The content of the book that talks about climate justice is just as wonderful. Elizabeth Cripps' writing is clear and to the point. There are some helpful examples that help to introduce and make the points. Storytelling is a good way to do this, but she doesn't get bogged down in the stories and doesn't use excessive statistical evidence. Points are simply made and, because of this, the points are given punch, purpose and poignancy (clever use here of words starting with 'p'! :-) ).
Climate justice is clearly explained in terms of what it is and what it needs to achieve. Unlike some other works, Elizabeth Cripps provides thoughts about 'what next' - what can/should/must we do to make a difference. Again, these are simply stated, clear and, importantly, achievable for everyone to take a part. I particularly like the way she suggests who should be accountable for leading (and paying for) climate justice. It gives a clear manifesto for addressing climate justice that we, as a society and as individuals, can participate in and feel proud that we have done so. The time for this book is now.
Ms. Cripps (and Ms. Roberts) applause from me, please take a bow.
