Democratizing Climate Governance - CALL FOR PAPERS

Climate change poses considerable challenges to democracy. Its global nature questions the traditional parameters of our political communities and moral responsibilities. Its complexity and urgency challenge the capacity of existing democratic procedures to produce effective outcomes. Transnational institutions and processes developed so far for mitigating and adapting to climate change often elude basic democratic values. Decisions on whether, where, and how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are generally made by elites in spatially and temporally distant settings, thus undermining the legitimacy of such decisions. Meanwhile, those most vulnerable to the consequences of climate change tend also to be, in many cases, the most socially disadvantaged and democratically disempowered. In this context, a key concern for scholars and citizens alike is how to ensure that the people who will be affected by climate change and climate governance are represented in decision-making processes. More effective democracy is likely to be instrumental to climate justice.

“The CODE for Global Ethics, Ten Humanist Principles”, by Dr. Rodrigue Tremblay

We live in troubled times. It seems that the moral environment is deteriorating at a moment when problems are increasingly becoming global in nature. Political corruption, abuse of power and disregard for the rule of law, unchecked greed and fraud in the economic sphere, severe economic crises, social inequalities, intolerance toward individual choices, the disregard for environmental problems by many, the rise of religious absolutism, the return of wars of aggression and of blind terrorism are all indicators that our civilization is suffering badly. Why are the basic humanist principles of ethics not more widely accepted and applied? What can we do to bring about a more humanist civilization?
