Thesis: 'Preserving value in the face of climate change: a pluralist account'

The main purpose of climate policy is to preserve what is valuable in the face of dangerous changes to the climate. Given this, policymaking must account for what people in fact value, and recognise that the monist approaches favoured by welfare economics are insufficient. This project explores how a pluralist account of value can inform climate policy, without falling into some of the pitfalls faced by traditional environmental ethics.
