GDAE Working Paper No. 11-02: Ethics and the Economist: What Climate Change Demands of Us
Abstract:
Climate change is changing not only our physical world, but also our intellectual,
social, and moral worlds. We are realizing that our situation is profoundly unsafe,
interdependent, and uncertain. What, then, does climate change demand of us, as human
beings and as economists? A discipline of economics based on Enlightenment notions of
mechanism and disembodied rationality is not suited to present problems. This essay
suggests three major requirements: first, that we take action; second, that we work
together; and third, that we focus on avoiding the worst, rather than obtaining the
optimal. The essay concludes with suggestions of specific steps that economists can take
as researchers, teachers, and in our other roles.
Keywords:
climate change; ethics; catastrophe; uncertainty; interdependence; Enlightenment;
responsibility; embodied reason
