Abstract
"Climate change is already impacting many regions and nations that have historically contributed little to almost nothing to current levels of atmospheric carbon and other greenhouse gases. Numerous models relied upon by IPCC project that adverse impacts in many of these vulnerable regions will grow in severity and range as global average temperatures increase. The majority of the most vulnerable countries do not have the capacity, in terms of scientific know how or technological infrastructure, to predict and respond to harmful climate impacts. Using the specific examples of climate impacts in the Kingdom of Bhutan, this post investigates some of the main ethical issues entailed by existing approaches to funding proposals for compensation and capacity building help the most vulnerable populations cope with the impacts from climate change."(p.1).
