This chapter rehearses arguments in favour of the idea that individuals are subject to an obligation to engage in self-starting anti-climate change practices, and indicates what sort of practices individuals would have to engage in for that obligation to be appropriately discharged. It argues that these practices cannot be purely private; rather these must be capable of being interpersonally co-ordinated and when so, of effectively stimulating systemic reform. They must allow for effective signalling and learning; be compatible with individual moral psychology (that is, they must generate individual benefits, not just burdens); and demand of individuals no more than what their measure of personal responsibility justifies.

Abstract

This chapter rehearses arguments in favour of the idea that individuals are subject to an obligation to engage in self-starting anti-climate change practices, and indicates what sort of practices individuals would have to engage in for that obligation to be appropriately discharged. It argues that these practices cannot be purely private; rather these must be capable of being interpersonally co-ordinated and when so, of effectively stimulating systemic reform. They must allow for effective signalling and learning; be compatible with individual moral psychology (that is, they must generate individual benefits, not just burdens); and demand of individuals no more than what their measure of personal responsibility justifies.
