| Resumo: | Climate ethics is one emerging force that has entered in the climate policy making arena. Different actors are proposing several policies for adapting and mitigating global warming. Recent research reveals that the current climate instruments are based mainly on technological and economic solutions, and more, they disregard or make invisible biogeocentric ethical principles. This article seeks to present the emerging of climate ethics within the latent theoretical field and its normative power.The methodological path adopted was through a qualitative approach, with systematic bibliographic review, documentary research and content analysis. In the first part of the article, the ontological rupture between the social and the natural is presented in the socio-climatic perspective. It also demonstrates how anthropocentric ethical principles are associated with the devastation of Nature, as well as they are being mobilized by strategies like negationism and techno-salvationism in climate policies. In the second part, I discuss the morality of the normative elements of this emerging ethics. In the third part, a synthesis of the analytical categories of the emerging climate ethics is presented. I conclude by presenting the real potential for both theoretical expansion of the field of climate ethics and normative categories for use in the processes of formulating climate policies. |
