Climate Change and the Future of Democracy

Climate Change and the Future of Democracy evaluates how international governance can adapt to global environmental crises. Written by R. S. Deese, the volume surveys past and present efforts to democratize international institutions in response to the threat of climate change.

The book argues that achieving a new degree of transparency and accountability on a global scale is necessary to address environmental perils. It examines how global governance could become more democratic and consequently more responsive to climate challenges.
