englischInstead of simply stating the necessity to tackle climate change this book seeks for an ethic justification of a strong policy of mitigation and adaptation. After some preliminary considerations it gains criteria of a possibly successful justification from common practices of justification in liberal societies. An exemplary comparison of an utilitarian and a discourse ethics-based human-rights-approach leads to the claim that climate change should be addressed as a threat to fundamental human rights. The book´s second half then outlines and discusses important principles, aspects and views of the debate about climate ethics, which might be considered when further developing the Paris Agreement. Not only issues of intergenerational and global justice are covered but also those of inclusion and individual ethics.
