A rapidly growing body of research—drawing on a wide variety of theoretical
and disciplinary perspectives—suggests that ethical considerations should
be and/or are already at the center of international climate change policy
and action discussions. Certainly, ignoring issues related to justice and
morality in this domain is no longer an option for climate negotiators,
issue advocates and others interested in crafting international responses
to climate change that will be seen as legitimate by all relevant state and
non-state actors.



Given both the role that ethical considerations will likely play in the
climate arena moving forward as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of
scholarship in this area, we seek submissions from a wide variety of
theoretical and disciplinary perspectives for a workshop and subsequent
special issue on ‘Multi-disciplinary perspectives on climate ethics.’ Both
the workshop and special issue aim to explore and expand the contributions
of ethics, psychology, geography/anthropology/sociology, law, economics,
and climate science to our understanding of the primary ethical dimensions
climate change.



We welcome submissions that describe new (previously unpublished),
cutting-edge research in one of the six focus areas for the workshop:



·       Philosophy (moral, political, environmental), Political theory

·       Psychology (moral, social, cognitive, evolutionary, environmental,
cognitive neuroscience)

·       GASS (geography, anthropology, sociology and other social sciences
including interdisciplinary perspectives)

·       Law

·       Economics,

·       Climate science.



Papers that connect two or more of the focus areas listed above are of
particular interest, though more disciplinary-specific submissions are also
welcome.



At the workshop, which will be held in Fall 2013 in Como, Italy, one
session will be held for each of the areas highlighted. Each session will
be opened by an invited keynote speaker and will include 3 additional
contributors, selected through this call for papers. Selected papers will
be presented at the workshop and, after incorporating feedback from
workshop participants, subsequently submitted for peer-review for inclusion
in a special issue on ‘Multi-disciplinary perspectives on climate ethics’.



All relevant deadlines are listed below. There will be no registration fee
for participants in the workshop.



Please submit a 300-word abstract (with paper title, all author names and
full contact information for the primary author) to
climateethicsworkshop at gmail.com.



Any questions about this call for papers should be directed towards the
workshop organizers, Marco Grasso (marco.grasso at unimib.it) and Ezra
Markowitz (ezram at princeton.edu).



Best,

Marco Grasso & Ezra Markowitz
