There are several subjects in climate change policy - making which raise important ethical and justice issues.

In short, we will argue improvement is possible in how IPCC deals with ethics, justice, and equity issues entailed by climate change policy - making despite very significant improvements on these matters in the AR5 report compared to prior IPCC reports.

It is also practically important because the first four IPCC reports, although not completely ignoring all ethical and justice problems with economic arguments about climate change policies, failed to examine the vast majority of ethical problems with economic arguments against climate change policies while making economic analyses of climate change policies the primary focus of Working Group III's work thereby leaving the strong impression that economic analyses, including but not limited to cost - benefit analyses, is the preferred way to evaluate the sufficiency of proposed climate change policies.

As a preliminary matter, one of the challenges that IPCC faces in its mandate on of ethics and justice issues relevant to climate change policy - making is that it is not IPCC's role to be prescriptive in deciding what governments should do.

This topic is enormously practically important because nations and others who argue against proposed climate change policies usually rely on various economic arguments which often completely ignore the ethical and justice limitations of these arguments (In the case of the United States, see Brown, 2012.)

Although other sections of the chapter acknowledge that responsibility for climate change is a matter of distributive justice, this section and others leave the impression that climate policy can be based upon economic efficiency grounds alone.

In the first entry in this series we concluded that although the recent IPCC AR 5 Working Group III report is laudable improvement over prior IPCC reports in regard to identifying ethical and equity issues that should be considered in developing climate change policy, some criticisms are also warranted of how IPCC has articulated the significance and implications of the ethical, justice, and equity principles that should guide nations in developing climate change policies.

The time has come to demand that nations be required to formulate policies in response to the climate change crisis on the basis of what justice requires.

IPCC can, however, distinguish between prescriptive and descriptive questions that arise in relevant socio - economic literature about climate policy - making, identify important ethical and justice issues that arise in this literature, where there is a consensus on ethics and justice issues in the relevant literature describe the consensus position, where there is no consensus on ethical and justice issues describe the range of reasonable views on these issues, and identify hard and soft law legal principles relevant to how governments should resolve ethical and justice issues that must be faced by policy - makers.

who has a right to participate in climate change policy - making, a topic usually referred to under the topic of procedural justice,
