CLIMATE ETHICS: PROSPECTS AND RETROSPECTIVES

A Workshop and Special Issue

The Journal of Ethics will publish a special issue on Climate Ethics: Prospects and Retrospectives and seeks proposals from a wide variety of perspectives.

Special Issue editors and workshop organizers: Prof. Kyle Fruh (Duke Kunshan University) and Dr. Marcus Hedahl (Annapolis, Maryland).

Climate ethics is a relatively young field, but nonetheless a lot has changed – both in the area and in the world – since climate change first started showing up in philosophy discussions. Some early and highly influential entries are now 30 years old. Meanwhile, 2024 was the first calendar year to exceed the much-discussed 1.5⁰ C increase in global average temperature over pre-industrial baselines. This special issue invites scholars to revisit early, influential work in climate ethics, or assess the evolution of a theme of interest in climate ethics in light of what’s happened in the intervening period – in terms of advancing climate change, in terms of evolving climate policies, and in terms of critical response and uptake of earlier work. This special issue aims to provide a way station in the development of climate ethics, looking back for insights in order to more productively look toward its future.
