  • Making and breaking promises

    Open AccessJames K Baker, Dominic RoserARTICLEEnvironmental Politics2025References: 39

    It is easy to put words on paper; it is harder to put them into practice. This is evidenced by the frequent discrepancy between a country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and its actual climate policies. In this article, we examine whether such disharmony should be criticized. We first provide a taxonomy of types of disharmony. We then examine various problems with settling the case for a strong norm of harmonization by simply referring…

  • Environmental justice in interdisciplinary perspective

    Open AccessIvo Wallimann-Helmer, Basil Bornemann et al.ARTICLEGAIA - Ecological Perspectives…2021

    Empirical research on environmental justice often simplifies normative implications, and ethical investigations in these fields often lack real-world complexity. A new working group bridges these gaps

  • Human Rights and 21st Century Challenges

    Dapo Akande, Jaakko Kuosmanen et al.EDITORBOOKHuman Rights and 21st Century…2020

    The world faces significant and interrelated challenges in the twenty-first century which threaten human rights in a number of ways. This book examines the relationship between human rights and three of the largest challenges of the twenty-first century: conflict and security, environment, and poverty. Technological advances in fighting wars have led to the introduction of new weapons which threaten to transform the very nature of conflict. In ad…

  • Enough for the Future

    Laurence H Meyer, Lukas H Meyer et al.CHAPTERIntergenerational Justice2017

    This chapter discusses intergenerational justice by distinguishing between sufficientarian and egalitarian conceptions of justice. A strictly egalitarian position by which understands a position that holds equality to be of intrinsic value is open to the so-called levelling- down-objection. As explained, the position of weak sufficientarianism can be understood as a qualified priority view. The position of strong sufficientarianism, however, can …

  • Climate Justice

    Dominic Roser, Christian SeidelBOOKClimate Justice2016

    The link between justice and climate change is becoming increasingly prominent in public debates on climate policy. This clear and concise philosophical introduction to climate justice addresses the hot topic of climate change as a moral challenge. Using engaging everyday examples the authors address the core arguments by providing a comprehensive and balanced overview of this heated debate, enabling students and practitioners to think critically…

  • Justice and cost effectiveness of consumption-based versus production-based approaches in the case of unilateral climate policies

  • Climate justice and historical emissions

    Laurence H Meyer, Lukas H Meyer et al.ARTICLECritical Review of International…2010Cited by: 26References: 3

    Climate change can be interpreted as a unique case of historical injustice involving issues of both intergenerational and global justice. We split the issue into two separate questions. First, how should emission rights be distributed? Second, who should come up for the costs of coping with climate change? We regard the first question as being an issue of pure distributive justice and argue on prioritarian grounds that the developing world should…

  • Enough for the Future

    Laurence H Meyer, Lukas H Meyer et al.CHAPTERIntergenerational justice2009

    Reflecting the normative significance of specific features of intergenerational relations this chapter investigates the justice claims of future people vis-à-vis currently living people. It discusses sufficientarian and egalitarian conceptions of justice, and argues that a sufficientarian approach is appropriate in the intergenerational context. This conclusion is based, first, on the argument that by relying on a threshold conception of harm we …

  • Distributive Justice and Climate Change. The Allocation of Emission Rights

    Open AccessLaurence H Meyer, Lukas H Meyer et al.ARTICLEAnalyse & Kritik2006Cited by: 6References: 3

    The emission of greenhouse gases causes climate change. Therefore, many support a global cap on emissions. How then should the emissions allowed under this cap be distributed? We first show that above average past emissions cannot be used to justify a right to above average current emissions. We then sketch three basic principles of distributive justice (egalitarianism, prioritarianism, and sufficientarianism) and argue, first, that prioritarian …
