‘New crises require new thinking. In a work combining rich theoretical reflection and vivid case studies of the real, immediate and complex challenges populations now face, Elaine Kelly provides a brilliant new ethical approach to the dramatic human movements already underway in response to climate change.’Nick Mansfield, Macquarie University, SydneyExplores complex ethical dilemmas of human mobility in the context of climate changeAdaptation policy for climate change currently prioritises economic and technological dimensions of governance and action. This book brings continental theory into the conversation and explores the ethical dilemmas stemming from the emerging global political crises of migration, displacement and communal relocation related to climate change. It argues that in the era of anthropocentric climate change, an ‘ethos of dwelling’ must underpin adaptation practices. Detailed analyses of Bangladesh, the Torres Strait Islands, the United States and Queensland (Australia) demonstrate that diverse contexts require distinct critical vocabularies and interventions with which to deal with the challenges of climate change.Elaine Kelly is an independent scholar and writer living in Sydney. Her work has been published in popular media such as The Conversation as well as academic journals, including Australian Quarterly, Continuum and Derrida Today.Cover image: planet of beautiful fir trees covered with snow in the Jura Mountains, Switzerland © akg / Elena Duvernay/Stocktrek ImagesCover design:[EUP logo]edinburghuniversitypress.comISBN 978-1-4744-2296-3Barcode
