Chris is also author of the book Liberalism and the Challenge of Climate Change. (London: Routledge 2023)
From the publisher's website:
"In this book Christopher Shaw analyses how liberalism has shaped our understanding of climate change and how liberalism is legitimated in the face of a crisis for which liberalism has no answers."
Chris spoke about his evolving views on the barriers to action on climate change with Helena Rambler, just after the conclusion of Climate Week in New York City.
