... How best to improve climate mitigation measures while we wait for an international consensus on climate policy? This is a practical problem raising important normative issues.

Abstract:
... According to the Budget Approach proposed by the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU), allocating CO₂ emission rights to countries on an equal per-capita basis would provide an ethically justified response to global climate change. In this paper, we will highlight four normative issues which beset the WBGU’s Budget Approach: (1) the approach’s core principle of distributive justice, the ...

Abstract:
... The issue of climate related loss and damage (L&D) has re-emerged and gained significant traction in international climate policy in recent years. However, many aspects remain unclear, including how aspects of liability and compensation in relation with L&D will be treated under the UNFCCC, human rights and environmental law. Furthermore, the type of scientific evidence required to link climate ch ...

5. The legacy of our CO2 emissions: a clash of scientific facts, politics and ethics

Author:
Knutti, Reto; Rogelj, Joeri

Subject:
carbon dioxide; climate; climate change; environmental policy; ethics; greenhouse gas emissions; humans; politics; risk; society; temperature
Abstract:
... Of the carbon dioxide that we emit, a substantial fraction remains in the atmosphere for thousands of years. Combined with the slow response of the climate system, this results in the global temperature increase resulting from CO₂ being nearly proportional to the total emitted amount of CO₂ since preindustrial times. This has a number of simple but far-reaching consequences that raise important qu ...
