Stakeholders Responsibilities
What are stakeholders’ responsibilities towards the environment and to future generations? Is a rights’ based framework really appropriate for environmental ethics, when an emphasis on responsibilities may be more important? When regional or global consensus cannot be reached, do countries have a responsibility to do what is ‘ethically correct’, even if no-one else will? The group will articulate the responsibilities of scientists, policy makers (funding and regulation), the public (including consumers and non-consumers of different products), investors, companies, institutions, particular interest groups (e.g. geographically close to a power plant, occupational groups, faith groups), and other living organisms, as examples in a cross-cultural perspective.
Outline of the draft report for WG-6 is being developed and will be posted for discussion when available.
Future meetings under planning.
