Voisard, Anthony Wallimann-Helmer, Ivo 2023 This paper discusses two approaches to climate ethics for practical reflection and decision-making in concrete local climate change governance. After a brief review of the main conceptual frameworks in climate ethics research, we show that none of these leading approaches is sufficiently context specific and pluralistic to provide guidance appropriate for concrete local climate governance. As alternatives, we present principlism as a methodology of midlevel principles and environmental pragmatism as an ethical approach. We argue that the two methodologies of principlism and pragmatism offer a new pluralistic framework that allows realworld conditions and contexts to be properly integrated into ethical analysis and decision-making in climate governance. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/330978 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/330978/files/voisard_wallimann-helmer_2024_towardsapracticalclimateethics.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1080/21550085.2023.2236504 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/2155-0085 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess CC BY Ethics, Policy & Environment. - London, UK: Informa UK Limited. - 2023, vol. 27, no. 3, p. 333-349 climate ethics climate justice methodology of midlevel principles principlism environmental pragmatism info:eu-repo/classification/udc/574 Towards a Practical Climate Ethics: Combining Two Approaches to Guide Ethical Decision-Making in Concrete Climate Governance Contexts http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
