“…( 2024) 18 (1) e0005 -9/21 Even so, some people believe that the outcome of Paris was a historical advance in the global climate governance, since it was the first time that almost all the countries agreed to limit in some way their own GHG emissions (STAVINS, 2015). For others, it was yet another failure to avoid the worse global warming effects, given the loose and non-binding nature of the commitments of each country and their lack of ability to avoid the limit close to 1.5ºC of increase in the Earth's temperature.…”

Climate change is on its way to significantly impact the world economy and people's wellbeing. It is one of the most unequal problems faced by humankind, where those who caused the problem (richer people) are much better protected from its impacts, while those at greatest risk are the poor people who contributed least to climate change. Solutions to the problem have been negotiated by countries under the UNFCCC, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which has proven incapable of addressing the problem at the required speed. Alternative arrangements are discussed where focus should be on a much narrower set of countries responsible for the problem and capable of financing worldwide solutions.

“…A CO 2 equivalent expresses all entities in an amount comparable to CO 2 . 8 According toStavins (2015), 96% of global emissions is accounted for in the Paris Agreement, since ''186 of the 195 members of the UNFCCC submitted INDCs by the end of the Paris talks.'' 9 See the Lima Call for Climate Action Decision-/CP20 (UNFCCC 2014); http://unfccc.int/files/ meetings/lima_dec_2014/application/pdf/auv_cop20_lima_call_for_climate_action.pdf.…”

On the Effectiveness and Legitimacy of ‘Shaming’ as a Strategy for Combatting Climate Change 1

While states have agreed to substantial reduction of emissions in the Paris Agreement, the success of the Agreement strongly depends on the cooperation of large Multinational Corporations. Short of legal obligations, we discuss the effectiveness and moral legitimacy of voluntary approaches based on naming and shaming. We argue that effectiveness and legitimacy are closely tied together; as voluntary approaches are the only alternative to legally imposed duties, they are most morally defensible particularly if they would be the most effective in reducing the harmful greenhouse gases. Shaming could be made effective if states could prompt more corporations to accept voluntary cuts with high gains-such as public acknowledgements-and high losses, such as reporting on noncompliance and public exposure (naming), along with some kind of condemnation (shaming). An important challenge of such voluntary approaches is how to ensure compliance with the agreed upon commitments, while avoiding greenwashing or selective disclosure. Certain institutional arrangements are inevitable, including an independent measurement, monitoring and verification mechanism. In this paper, we discuss the potentials and ethical pitfalls of shaming as a strategy when corporations have a direct relationship with consumers, but also when they are in a relationship with governments and other corporations.
