Editorial by Jörg Tremmel, Edward Page, Konrad Ott

“…Dangerous climate change was usefully defined by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change as a state of affairs where concentrations of CO2-equivalent (CO2e) in the atmosphere trigger climatic impacts sufficiently grave to threaten global food production, prevent sustainable economic development, and prevent ecosystems from adapting naturally. There are essentially four distinct ethical concepts involved: - Distributive justice: The capacity of the atmosphere to absorb CO2e is limited. …”
