Humanitarianism 2.0

This book spells out a new framework for humanitarian aid in the long emergency of climate change.

'An original and deeply moving exploration of humanitarian ethics in times of climate change. Hugo Slim masterfully challenges all of us--and especially humanitarians--to rethink our ethics, norms and practices.'

'A remarkable book. Slim makes an engaging argument for a more current, ethical and effective paradigm for humanitarian action in the age of the "polycrisis." An absolute must-read for anyone working in the climate, development and humanitarian sectors.'

'A new, nature-positive paradigm of humanitarian response to climate crises is required. This response, as Slim powerfully argues, must be integrative and inclusive, merging both human and ecological objectives. A must-read and a lighthouse to guide our collective reset for much-enhanced climate resilience.'

'A compelling case for integrating the humanitarian and environmental agendas at a time when we are finally beginning to recognise that the wellbeing of people is intertwined with, and dependent on, the health of nature. Our only chance of securing a people-positive future is through a nature-positive one.'

Hugo Slim is Director of the Las Casas Institute for Social Justice at Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford, and a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict at the Blavatnik School of Government.
