Abstract
This paper asks whether parents owe it to their children to bring them up as good global climate citizens. Four arguments are considered, with increasing success: that there are social disadvantages to immoral behaviour; that moral integrity is required for a full human life; that the capacity for such integrity is so needed; and that the duty is demanded by the life-shaping parent–child relationship and the fact that parents have climate justice duties. Given this, enabling and motivating one’s child to respond to climate change is part of valuing that child as a future member of the same global moral community as oneself.
