ABSTRACT
The previous part has shown that it is hard to justify fundamental skepticism concerning the duty to mitigate climate change. Therefore we can now turn to the second key question of climate ethics: How much climate mitigation do we owe future generations? Is the threat to the climate so great that we must transform our current lifestyle from the bottom up? Or will we leave our descendants an acceptable inheritance even if we confi ne our climate mitigation eff orts to measures that do not “hurt”?
