Together with many of us, Elizabeth Cripps is deeply concerned about the moral implications of our failure to adequately respond to catastrophic climate change. She is concerned about the implications for our duties, responsibilities and well-being qua moral agents, in a situation where it can seem as if there really is no 'we' that is responding at all. The book sets out to defend two claims: There are 'weakly collective duties' to respond with mitigation, adaptation and compensation; My primary duty as an individual agent when 'we' fail to act is to promote such collective action.
