ABSTRACT

Key to the success of the International Leadership Alliance for Climate Stabilization, which is a public-private partnership that the Climate Institute has stimulated, is a broad-scale recognition of the international and intergenerational equity issues posed by climate change. The International Leadership Alliance draws on these ethical concerns to link leaders in vulnerable island nations and states or provinces of more populous nations with research institutions, universities, religious groups, voluntary carbon offset groups and corporations that share an interest in climate protection.
