Abstract

[Climate change is the most significant global risk of our time. Environmental shifts are already creating multiple insecurities for humans, land, oceans and whole life systems, including the potential loss of nation-states and mass population displacements. Despite this, the mass uncertainties caused by industrial emissions are persistently denied and minimized by states and corporations focused on economic growth, technological development, institutional competitiveness and resource extraction. This chapter reflects on how modern societies have responded to climate change risks by developing increasingly secure border controls. It exposes three principal risk-prevention techniques—hostile legalities, hostile solidarities and hostile hospitalities—that together operate to blame, responsibilize and control those least responsible for climate change, while taking the focus away from polluting states and corporations to address their globally threatening activities.]
