Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 2010, vol. 1, issue 1, 54-66

Abstract: Climate ethics is an emerging field. This paper serves as a critical introductory overview. It focuses on five areas of discussion that are particularly relevant to substantive climate policy: the treatment of scientific uncertainty, responsibility for past emissions, the setting of mitigation targets, and the places of adaptation and geoengineering in the policy portfolio.
