An Ethical Analysis of the Cancun Climate Negotiations Outcome

Authors

  • Donald A. Brown

Abstract

This essay looks at two possible conflicting conclusions about Cancun Summit
through an ethical lens. It will explain that although some hope for a global solution to climate change is still alive due to decisions adopted in Cancun, one must see Cancun in the context of a twenty-year failed attempt to prevent dangerous climate change.
