An overview of the obstacles to effective climate governance which are leading to a worsening of the climate crisis. International relations, national policies, and psychosocial factors such as overconsumption and global capitalism are explored, as well as potential remedies on the international, national, and individual level. 'In this book, Paul Harris provides a thought-provoking analysis of the instincts and behaviours that governance systems and societies will need to confront if they are to succeed in controlling the most serious impacts of climate change. Its accessible writing style and clear lines of argumentation will make it a useful resource for academics, decision-makers and students of the politics of climate change.'
