Applied Ethics & Climate Action
The coming years are critical for global action to address climate change. The need to accelerate implementation across every area of society is more urgent than ever.
But despite strong indications of widespread public support for action, exactly how, when, and by whom action is implemented is becoming increasingly contentious and even divisive. This divergence in what is considered the right course of action presents moral and ethical conflicts that are delaying timely implementation.
Can better consideration of the ethical dimensions affecting climate action implementation enhance its speed, impact, and sustainability? See how leading climate action practitioners and applied ethicists approached this question during Ethics Accelerator convenings in March 2025.
