Does Climate Change Policy Depend Importantly on Population Ethics? Deflationary Responses to the Challenges of Population Ethics for Public Policy

In Budolfson, M, McPherson, Tristram & D. Plunkett (eds), Philosophy and Climate Change, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2021.

From the introduction

[...] we believe that philosophical work on climate change - including the work showcased in this volume - can make an important contribution to the broader interdisciplinary conversation about this pressing topic. [...] In our view, understanding climate change, and discussing how to address it, should be at the very center of public conversation for the foreseeable future. We think that philosophy can make an enormous contribution to that conversation, but will do so only if both philosophers and non-philosophers understand what philosophy can contribute. We hope that this volume contributes to that understanding.
