Description: "Climate change is occurring in a radically unjust world in which nearly 700 million people live in extreme poverty. Most people who write about climate change know this, but Moellendorf feels it. While insisting on hope, he does not traffic in false optimism." -- Dale Jamieson, Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy, New York University "In this compelling book, Darrel Moellendorf paints a picture of mass mobilization as a potent route out of the climate crisis. He argues for a hopeful vision combining prosperity and sustainability to guide this mobilisation and finds 'hope-makers' in youth climate activism." -- Catriona McKinnon, Professor of Political Theory, University of Exeter "Moblizing Hope is an illuminating, accessible, innovative response to the moral problems posed by the morally urgent task of limiting global warming and its harms... [It] is an outstanding example of how moral philosophy can advance a politics of hope in the face of a uniquely fearsome global danger." -- Richard W. Miller, Hutchinson Professor in Ethics and Public Life Emeritus, Cornell University "Mobilizing Hope: Climate Change and Global Poverty is both a learned treatise and a highly accessible and inspiring assessment as to what we, the human race, need to accomplish, starting right now, to create a just and sustainable present and future for ourselves and generations to come." -- Robert Pollin, Distinguished University Professor of Economics and Co-Director, Political Economy Research Institute (PERI),University of Massachusetts Amherst "This valuable book's exceptionally wide range includes imaginative explorations of the implications of Martin Luther King Jr.'s theory of mass movements for challenging the political entrenchment of the fossil fuel industry, the technological assumptions of net zero carbon, and the meaning and grounds of hope in our current situation." -- Henry Shue, Senior Research Fellow, University of Oxford,
