Responding to the climate crisis – bridging the gap between public health ethics and environmental ethics

Abstract

Abstract The climate crisis is a major public health ethics problem that needs to be addressed using a broad set of ethical tools to analyse the manifold ethical issues. To enrich the discourse, we suggest to bridge the gap between environmental ethics and public health ethics. A planetary health ethics could help to develop a holistic perspective and create awareness about the multiple ethically relevant interactions between humans and the environment.
