The Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology (COMEST) of UNESCO organized a program on July 5th in Bangkok that examined:
- Whether compliance with their ethical obligations by those responsible for climate change is indispensable to avoid catastrophic climate impacts, and
- What can be done to assure that those responsible for climate change respond in accordance with their ethical duties and obligations?
A description of some of the conclusions of the program including: (a) why compliance with their ethical obligations by those responsible for climate change is indispensable to prevent catastrophe, (b) why ethical principles have failed to get traction in climate policy formation, and (3) recommendations on what organizations and citizens should do to implement ethical principles in climate change policy formation, is available at:
