Ethics of the Environment Through joint efforts carried out with UNESCO Sectors and relevant international bodies, UNESCO will address a number of thematic areas - such as the development of a programme in the Ethics of the Environment - with a view to playing an advisory and standard-setting role for the benefit of Member States. Following its involvement in the World Summit on Sustainable Development (South Africa, 2002) and the Third World Water Forum (Japan, 2003), and in view of the International Decade on Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014), COMEST's joint action with the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) will concentrate on the ethical issues of sustainability, the basic values of environmental ethics and the search for answers in complex environmental situations, in line with their recommendations and results of their previous work. UNESCO will thus strengthen its focus on the Ethics of the Environment with a view to discussing ethical recommendations at the fourth session of COMEST in March 2005.

Environmental Ethics: a proposal for international action. UNESCO is undertaking studies on international action in the field of environmental ethics. The initial steps are the setting up of a state-of-the-art programme and the preparation of proposals for actions, including the elaboration of an international Declaration of Environmental Ethical Principles. A policy study was then submitted to consultations at the WSF in a workshop representing a unique opportunity to establish a dialogue with relevant interlocutors of civil society, creating possibilities for networking and liaisons with relevant stakeholders in the international arena.
At World Social Forum fifth edition, all the proposed activities were organised in 11 "thematic terrains". This activity was part of the

Environmental Ethics. People were alerted to the insidious dangers of postwar technologies in two ways: through the testimony of their senses—the air and water were palpably befouled, the landscape had become deranged, and the biota had become impoverished—and through the testimony of distinguished statespersons, writers, and scientists. The most influential writings of the time included: Our Plundered Planet by Fairfield Osborn, Silent Spring by Rachel Carson (1962), The Quiet Crisis by Stewart Udall (1963), and The Closing Circle by Barry Commoner (1971).

Responsible Ecotourism
by Cliff Speer Environmental Quiz - Test your knowledge of backcountry and environmental ethics
Freedom and Responsibility
Freedom is the essence of wilderness canoeing . Freedom to escape everyday routine and stress. Freedom to be restored by unsullied Nature. Freedom to explore new frontiers, within and without. This is the lure of wilderness canoeing... But wait, there must be a catch. Ah, yes. No doubt you've heard it before: "With much freedom comes much responsibility." It is an axiom, as inescapable in the natural world as it is in other worlds. But the truth of it has taken a while to sink into the collective consciousness. Once upon a time, hardy adventurers marched into the bush to tame the wilderness. Nature's rules were ignored. The human species had dominion; Nature was subject. Freedom meant doing anything you pleased. Responsibility to protect the Earth and preserve its goodness was unheard of in most camps.
Treading Softly and Being Respectful
We have now entered a new era.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The primary goal of this course is to prepare students to understand and to critically evaluate various ethical perspectives on human beings' interactions with nature and these perspectives' applications to environmental issues. A secondary goal of the course is to familiarize students with the historical sources of these perspectives and with contemporary manifestations of them in the political arena. The principal ethical perspectives studied are:
  • anthropocentrism,
  • animal welfare and animal rights views,
  • biocentric individualism, and
  • environmental holism. We will study representative descriptions and defenses of these perspectives and consider their application to contemporary environmental issues such as:
  • hunting,
  • endangered species,
  • the property "takings" issue,
  • the legal status of non-human nature,
  • wilderness preservation and management,
  • sustainable development and sustainable agriculture

    ABSTRACT: Cases have been widely used in medical ethics and law. In both fields, numerous books and articles about cases have appeared, including book-length catalogs of cases. I argue that pluralistic casuistry provides an adequate approach to environmental ethics. It retains the strengths while avoiding the weaknesses of the other approaches. Importantly, it resolves some broader theoretical issues and provides a clear, explicit methodology for education and praxis. Cases have been widely used in medical ethics and law. In both fields, numerous books and articles about cases have appeared, including book-length catalogs of cases. What I propose to do in this paper is to discuss whether environmental ethics should be case-based as in law and medicine. The relationship of cases to theory has received intense scholarly debate. At issue is which takes priority. A similar situation exists in the sciences, as well as in most other disciplines. There are the so-called "pure" or "research" scientists, and also the "applied" or "practical" scientist. Field biologists, conservation biologists, restoration ecologists, landscape engineers, sylvantologists, and so on, are applied scientists. Which takes priority: theory or application? What I want to discuss is whether environmental ethics, like medicine and law, would benefit from case-based methodology.

    Environmental ethics
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
    Environmental ethics is the ethical relationship between human beings and the environment in which they live. It exerts influence on a large range of disciplines including law sociology theology economics and geography . There are many ethical decisions that human beings make with respect to the environment. For example:
    • Should they continue to clear cut the forests for the sake of human consumption? Should they continue to make gasoline powered vehicles , depleting fossil fuel resources while the technology exsits to create zero-emission vehicles What environmental obligations do they need to keep for future generations? Is it right for humans to knowingly cause the extinction of a species for the (perceived or real) convenience of humanity?
    In the Journal of Applied Philosophy Alan Marshall writes of a natural ecological balance between the animate (living entities) and the inanimate (non-living entities) that existed for centuries. For Marshall however, the rapid industrialization of the last 300 years has led to a major imbalance. Today growing concerns about global warming underline the general acceptance that environmental preservation is of vital importance. However, it is the grounds upon which one justifies the argument for or against preservation that is the subject of ethical debate, and this invariably includes a personal stance on non-human animal and non-animal rights. There have been many attempts to categorize the different attempts to justify the importance of the preservation of the environment. Alan Marshall and Michael Smith are two recent examples of this, as cited by

    BellaOnline's Philosophy Editor Re-membering Environmental Ethics “Through sight, the colours may be seen, but too much colour blinds us. Apprehending the tones of sound, too much sound might make us deaf, and too much flavour deadens taste. When hunting for sport, and chasing for pleasure, the mind easily becomes perplexed. He who collects treasures for himself more easily becomes anxious. The wise person fulfills his needs, rather than sensory temptations.” -from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, translated by Stan Rosenthal Too much of a good thing can be bad. We live in a culture rampant with excess. The materialistic, manifest-destiny driven american dream, inspiring humanity to gorge itself on sensory experience will be the downfall of humanity. American indulgence is a root cause of the apparent degradation of the environment. Desires indulged to excess only feed the fire of desire. A never -ending cycle of empty consumerism then ensues. Addiction can manifest itself within all spheres of life. It is clear that in America we are addicted to “things.” As if we could attain immortality by consuming. As if we could truly be happy and attain spiritual bliss through the mere collection of material objects. We can only become monsters, sick and fat from our own lustful greed.

"At the Edge of Humanity: Human Stem Cells, Chimeras, and Moral Status." The Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal Abstract Scientists have shown increasing interest in transplanting human stem cells into early fetal or embryonic non-human animals. In this paper, I evaluate these experiments from the perspective of the chimeric research subject. After briefly outlining the scientific and regulatory background, I argue that these experiments raise novel ethical issues due to their possible implications for the moral status of the chimeric individual. I analyze the questions raised from the perspective of different views of moral status, and discuss principles for evaluating a change in moral status. After criticizing many of the arguments already made against such research, I conclude that it is not necessarily objectionable from the perspective of the chimeric individual. However, there are grounds for concern given the circumstances in which the research is likely to take place. Streiffer, Robert (lead author), Alan Rubel, and Julie Fagan. Forthcoming.
