The Process of Ethical Inquiry
From these shared ethical principles, questions of population, economy, governance and priority are raised. Within this process of inquiry we must ask ourselves serious questions, placed within their often unique contexts. This process provides an opportunity to think ethically and thereby act responsibly.
What is Your Fair Share: what is a fair share of the use of natural resources for each individual that does not compromise the existence of other life?
How to Channel Resources: how can we channel the resources required to mitigate climate change and redress vast inequalities in the world?
Short Term Arguments versus Long Term Engagement: how do we counter short-term economic arguments against biodiversity conservation with the long-term thinking required in ethical inquiry?
The Individual in the Community: how do we support the common good alongside individual ambition, within a society dominated by private property rights and those seeking excessive power?
Protecting the Whole: how can we sustain the integrity of the biosphere without much greater equality in economic opportunities and incomes?
Ethical Institutions: what kind of domestic and international law systems do we need to empower institutions to respect, support, and implement the Biosphere Ethics Initiative?
Balancing Rights: how can we ethically balance the rights of nature and the rights of humans?
What is Your Population Responsibility: what obligations should societies and individuals assume in recognition of the pressures that our growing population place on one another and the biosphere?
Empowerment during Distress: how can we empower communities in ecological, military, and/or economic distress to promote biodiversity conservation?
Our Invitation
The Biosphere Ethics Initiative is engaged in ethical inquiry to communicate and stimulate ethical thinking and acting. We are seeking to better understand the ethical imperatives needed to keep nature alive, and how we can best translate those imperatives into real action. Within and beyond the Secretariat, members, and partners of IUCN, the Initiative invites individuals, communities, organizations, and governments to contribute to the Evolving Biosphere Ethic through local dialogue. Let us together build a movement of global solidarity for the future of life.
