Cosmopolitanism on Climate Costs - Dictionary of Arguments
Norgaard I 325 Climate Costs/Cosmopolitanism: The problem of climate change has emerged in the wake of several decades of growing debate among philosophers on the topic of cosmopolitanism—that is, whether the rights and duties that obtain between people within the same nation or other community also obtain between people in different countries and communities. These debates have focused primarily on questions of distributive justice, and in particular on whether rich countries and their citizens have obligations of economic justice towards poor countries and their citizens. >Climate costs/Shue. >Emission permits, >Emission reduction credits, >Emission targets, >Emissions, >Emissions trading, >Climate change, >Climate damage, >Energy policy, >Clean Energy Standards, >Climate data, >Climate history, >Climate justice, >Climate periods, >Climate targets, >Climate impact research, >Carbon price, >Carbon price coordination, >Carbon price strategies, >Carbon tax, >Carbon tax strategies.
