Series: Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism

Climate Liberalism examines the potential and limitations of classical-liberal approaches to pollution control and climate change. Some successful environmental strategies, such as the use of catch-shares for fisheries, instream water rights, and tradable emission permits, draw heavily upon the classical liberal intellectual tradition and its emphasis on property rights and competitive markets. This intellectual tradition has been less helpful, to date, in the development or design of climate change policies.

Climate Liberalism aims to help fill the gap in the academic literature examining the extent to which classical-liberal principles, including an emphasis on property rights, decentralized authority and dynamic markets, can inform the debate over climate-change policies. The contributors in this book approach the topic from a range of perspectives and represent multiple academic disciplines. Chapters consider the role of property rights and common-law legal systems in controlling pollution, the extent to which competitive markets backed by legal rules encourage risk minimization and adaptation, and how to identify the sorts of policy interventions that may help address climate change in ways that are consistent with liberal values.

Reviews for Climate Liberalism: Perspectives on Liberty, Property and Pollution

“Climate Liberalism provides insightful and practical perspectives on how to understand and potentially tackle such a pressing social and ecological problem.” (Jordan K. Lofthouse, Public Choice, Vol. 197, 2023) “All chapters are heavily referenced. Overall, this book departs from the current US pattern of politically oriented groups operating in conceptual isolation and will be useful as an in-depth reference for classical liberal approaches to environmental law and policy.” (F. T. Manheim, Choice, Vol. 60 (11), 2023)
