Climate Change, Consumption and Intergenerational Justice: Lived Experiences in China, Uganda and the UK

Kristina Diprose,Gill Valentine (Department of Geography, University of Sheffield),Robert Vanderbeck,Chen Liu,Katie McQuaid

The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development makes climate change and responsible consumption key priorities for both industrialised and emerging economies.

Moving beyond the Global North, this book uses innovative cross-national and cross-generational research with urban residents in China and Uganda, as well as the UK, to illuminate international debates about building sustainable societies and examine how different cultures think about past, present and future responsibility for climate change.

The authors explore how far different nations see climate change as a domestic issue whilst looking at local explanatory and blame narratives to consider profound questions of justice, between those nations that are more and less responsible for, and vulnerable to, climate change.
