Evaluation of Paris Climate Agreement in the context of environmental ethics with a ecocentric approach

Climate change has increasingly become a climate crisis and has reached a level that threatens The Earth. The climate crisis negatively affects all living beings, as well as the ecosystem. The international community has been struggling with climate change fornearly 30 years within the framework of the global climate regime established by the UN.The devastating consequences of climate change and ongoing processes have been described as an unsustainable climate crisis. The global struggle has also necessitated ethical evaluation. In addition to technical studies on climate change, equity, justice and ethical issues must also be considered.The critical method of philosophy was employed in the study and the findingswere presented in three sections. Foremost, the Global Climate Crisis and Environmental Ethics were determined as the conceptual framework. In the following section, the activities of the UN towards the Global Climate crisis problem were examined. In the third section, the study analyzed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Climate Agreement that were carried out within the scope of the UN on the fight against climate change and validated their application to the concept of Environmental Ethics. In the conclusion section, the validity of the propositions was examined within the scope of study hypotheses and the relevant research questions. The study concludes by determining that, the activities and agreements implemented concerning the global fight against climate change are far from effective and sufficient in terms of environmental ethics.
