Zusammenfassung
Climate disruption is a profoundly moral issue. The consequences of uncontrolled climate disruption reek socioeconomic and ecological devastation and the decisions about how to respond to the crisis will ultimately be based on moral and ethical values, whether or not they are acknowledged as such. Organizations that help Americans grasp the moral implications of the emergency can therefore make a major contribution to shifting the nation's mindset about climate disruption and to implementing solutions. Yet to date, little has been known about the strengths, limitations, needs, and opportunities for improved effectiveness of organizations that are making a moral call to action on climate disruption. This report provides an assessment of many of these organizations and offers recommendations to increase their effectiveness and grow the size and impact of the movement the assessment is a project of the national climate ethics campaign, which is coordinated by the resource innovation group (TRIG), in partnership with a 15-person national advisory committee and a five-person social-science committee.
