Climate Justice and Moral Burdens

Justice climatique et fardeaux moraux

Résumé

The challenge of climate justice is to avoid, reduce and/or remedy the harms caused by climate change in an efficient and fair way. The burden of climate action is multidimen- sional: while the most obvious and discussed dimensions are economic, social and cultur- al, in this paper it is the moral dimension of this burden, quite absent from the climate ethics literature, that I wish to address. By moral burden what is meant here is the con- frontation, imposed by external – natural or anthropogenic – factors, of an agent with a moral conflict. In this paper I argue (1) that imposing substantial avoidable or unfair moral burdens on others is unjust, (2) that climate change poses serious risks of such injustices, and (3) that consequently duties of climate justice include those to prevent, reduce and if necessary, remedy avoidable moral burdens. My argument thus presents an additional, until now little noticed consideration in the climate justice debate.
