Climate Justice : Vulnerability and Protection
The fruit of twenty years of moral reflection on the emerging greatest challenge to humanity of the 21st century, these far-sighted and influential essays by a pioneering practical philosopher on the tangled questions of justice between nations and justice across generations confronting all attempts at international cooperation in controlling climate change sharply crystallize the central choices and offer constructive directions forward.Arguing that persistent attempts by U.S. negotiators to avoid the fundamental issues of justice at the heart of persistent international disagreement on the terms of a binding multilateral treaty are as morally misguided as they are diplomatically counter-productive, Henry Shue has built a case that efforts to price carbon (through cap-and-trade or carbon taxes) as a mechanism to drive down greenhouse gas emissions by the affluent must, for both ethical and political reasons, be complemented by international transfers that temporarily subsidize the development of non-carbon energy and its dissemination to those trapped in poverty.Our vital escape from climate change rooted in the dominance of the fossil fuel regime ought not, and in fact need not, come at the price of de-railing the escape of the world's poorest from poverty rooted in lack of affordable energy that does not undermine the climate.The momentum of changes in the planetary climate system and the political inertia of energy regimes mean that future generations, like the poorest of the present, are vulnerable to our decisions, and they have rights not to be left helpless by those of us with the power instead to leave them hope.

Engineering Vulnerability : In Pursuit of Climate Adaptation
In Engineering Vulnerability Sarah E. Vaughn examines climate adaptation against the backdrop of ongoing processes of settler colonialism and the global climate change initiatives that seek to intervene in the lives of the world’s most vulnerable.Her case study is Guyana in the aftermath of the 2005 catastrophic flooding that ravaged the country’s Atlantic coastal plain.The country’s ensuing engineering projects reveal the contingencies of climate adaptation and the capacity of flooding to shape Guyanese expectations about racial (in)equality.Analyzing the coproduction of race and vulnerability, Vaughn details why climate adaptation has implications for how we understand the past and the continued human settlement of a place.Such understandings become particularly apparent not only through experts’ and ordinary citizens’ disputes over resources but in their attention to the ethical practice of technoscience over time.Approaching climate adaptation this way, Vaughn exposes the generative openings as well as gaps in racial thinking for theorizing climate action, environmental justice, and, more broadly, future life on a warming planet.

Renewable Energy and Wildlife Conservation
Brings together disparate conversations about wildlife conservation and renewable energy, suggesting ways these two critical fields can work hand in hand. Renewable energy is often termed simply "green energy," but its effects on wildlife and other forms of biodiversity can be quite complex.While capturing renewable resources like wind, solar, and energy from biomass can require more land than fossil fuel production, potentially displacing wildlife habitat, renewable energy infrastructure can also create habitat and promote species health when thoughtfully implemented. The authors of Renewable Energy and Wildlife Conservation argue that in order to achieve a balanced plan for addressing these two crucially important sustainability issues, our actions at the nexus of these fields must be directed by current scientific information related to the ecological effects of renewable energy production.Synthesizing an extensive, rapidly growing base of research and insights from practitioners into a single, comprehensive resource, contributors to this volume• describe processes to generate renewable energy, focusing on the Big Four renewables—wind, bioenergy, solar energy, and hydroelectric power• review the documented effects of renewable energy production on wildlife and wildlife habitats• consider current and future policy directives, suggesting ways industrial-scale renewables production can be developed to minimize harm to wildlife populations• explain recent advances in renewable power technologies• identify urgent research needs at the intersection of renewables and wildlife conservationRelevant to policy makers and industry professionals—many of whom believe renewables are the best path forward as the world seeks to meet its expanding energy needs—and wildlife conservationists—many of whom are alarmed at the rate of renewables-related habitat conversion—this detailed book culminates with a chapter underscoring emerging opportunities in renewable energy ecology.

Vulnerability in Resistance
Vulnerability and resistance have often been seen as opposites, with the assumption that vulnerability requires protection and the strengthening of paternalistic power at the expense of collective resistance.Focusing on political movements and cultural practices in different global locations, including Turkey, Palestine, France, and the former Yugoslavia, the contributors to Vulnerability in Resistance articulate an understanding of the role of vulnerability in practices of resistance.They consider how vulnerability is constructed, invoked, and mobilized within neoliberal discourse, the politics of war, resistance to authoritarian and securitarian power, in LGBTQI struggles, and in the resistance to occupation and colonial violence.The essays offer a feminist account of political agency by exploring occupy movements and street politics, informal groups at checkpoints and barricades, practices of self-defense, hunger strikes, transgressive enactments of solidarity and mourning, infrastructural mobilizations, and aesthetic and erotic interventions into public space that mobilize memory and expose forms of power.Pointing to possible strategies for a feminist politics of transversal engagements and suggesting a politics of bodily resistance that does not disavow forms of vulnerability, the contributors develop a new conception of embodiment and sociality within fields of contemporary power.

When do you show vulnerability?
I show vulnerability when I am in a safe and trusting environment, such as with close friends or family members. I also show vulnerability when I am facing a difficult situation or feeling overwhelmed, as it allows me to seek support and comfort from others. Additionally, I show vulnerability when I am trying to build deeper connections with others, as it helps to foster empathy and understanding in relationships.

What does vulnerability mean in geography?
In geography, vulnerability refers to the susceptibility of a particular area or population to the impacts of natural disasters, climate change, or other external factors. It takes into account factors such as exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Vulnerability assessments in geography help identify areas that are at higher risk and in need of targeted interventions to reduce their susceptibility to potential hazards. By understanding vulnerability, geographers can develop strategies to enhance resilience and mitigate the impacts of various threats on communities and environments.

Attentiveness to Vulnerability
This book is an attempt to develop a dialogue between the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, Jean Porter's Thomistic theory of the natural law, and the virtue of solidarity as expressed in Catholic Social Teaching.It seeks to explore the implications that such a dialogue would have for our understanding of moral reasoning.Attentiveness to Vulnerability rests on the hypothesis that it is possible to develop a set of robust links between these thinkers and bodies of thought--markedly different as they are in terms of philosophical disposition and framework.Such links specify the ethical implications of Levinas' thought and develop Porter's theory in an original way.This work requires further specification through a developed anthropology, which allows for expansion within the tradition of Catholic theological ethics.The inclusion of Levinas and a focus on the virtue of solidarity allows for an advancement of virtue theory and theological ethics, to the extent that the virtue of solidarity becomes a key aspect of any ethical reasoning. ""In a clearly written and carefully developed dialogue, Daniel Fleming probes the relationship between Emmanuel Levinas, Jean Porter, and the virtue of Solidarity.This significant study offers a richer account of the person as relational and of 'flourishing' in virtue ethics.We are indebted to Fleming for refining our attentiveness to the vulnerability of, and our solidarity with, the Other as factors integral to moral judgment and virtuous actions.""Thomas Ryan, SM, is an Honorary Fellow of the Australian Catholic University. ""Attentiveness to Vulnerability makes a valuable and distinctive contribution to moral philosophy and theology by drawing together the natural law theory of Jean Porter, the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, and Catholic social teaching on the virtue of solidarity.By exploring these links, Fleming deepens our awareness of the ways solidarity springs from attentiveness to vulnerability, especially through his proposal to re-conceive the 'preferential option for the poor' as a 'preferential option for the vulnerable.'""--Robert Gascoigne, Emeritus Professor, School of Theology, Australian Catholic UniversityDaniel J.Fleming leads ethics and formation for St Vincent's Health Australia, the country's largest Catholic healthcare provider.He is also a senior lecturer in theology and ethics and Honorary Research Associate with the Sydney College of Divinity.

Policing Encounters with Vulnerability
This edited collection brings together scholars and practitioners to consider the ways in which policing organisations approach vulnerability and the strategies they develop to reduce victims, offenders and police officers’ susceptibility to increased harm.Based on their work with policing services, the public criminologists and critical policing scholars collected together in this edited volume consider vulnerability in terms of people, processes, and institutional practices.While more attention is being paid to some experiences of vulnerability — particularly at the later stages of the criminal justice process — this collection will be the first to focus on the specific issues faced by policing services as the front end of criminal justice.The case studies of vulnerability in each chapter offer the reader new insights into the operational concerns in working with vulnerable people (including vulnerable police officers).This collection is ideally suited for scholars of applied criminal justice studies (including policing studies), police recruits and officers in training, and policing practitioners such as policy and program development officers.

What impact does Australia's geographical location have on its vulnerability to climate change?
Australia's geographical location makes it particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. As a large island continent, Australia is surrounded by oceans, which makes it susceptible to rising sea levels and extreme weather events such as cyclones and storm surges. Additionally, its location in the Southern Hemisphere means it is already experiencing the effects of climate change, including rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns. The country's unique ecosystems, including the Great Barrier Reef and its diverse wildlife, are also at risk due to the warming climate and ocean acidification. Overall, Australia's geographical location makes it highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, requiring urgent action to mitigate its effects.
