Abstract
\nThis talk explores climate ethics through the lens of the 2015 book\, The Right to be Cold. The book traces Sheila Watt-Cloutier&rsquo\;s journey from childhood through adulthood and describes her international advocacy on behalf of Canada&rsquo\;s Inuit communities\, as well as Arctic peoples throughout the world. I argue that Watt-Cloutier&rsquo\;s account offers important lessons for climate ethics and climate justice\, by highlighting the deeply contextual and relational dimensions of climate impacts\; implicitly challenging highly abstract and ideal conceptions of justice\; and at the same time\, strategically deploying the notion of human rights to convey what is at stake for Arctic peoples in a changing climate.
