Declaration on Climate Ethics - Prof. Sang-Wook Yi

UNESCO is asserting that at its core, climate change is an ethical issue. In a

broad consensus, the organization’s 195 Member States adopted a global

Declaration of ethical principles in relation to climate change during the 39th

Session of its General Conference (Paris, 30 October to 14 November).

UNESCO’s Declaration aims to help governments, businesses, and civil society

mobilize people around shared values on climate change. lt sounds the alarm

that, unless ethical principles become the basis of climate action, both climate

change and responses to it could create unacceptable damage and injustice.
