This project aims to provide a rigorous ethical framework for dividing the world’s remaining ‘carbon budget’ (CB). In order to avoid climate change the world must drastically limit its emissions of greenhouse gases. The project will develop a new analysis of how our assumptions concerning risk and harm shape conception of the CB. It will also provide a new understanding of how future emission rights should be allocated given that countries have emitted vastly different quantities of greenhouse gases in the past. The project will analyse how the CB will impact the climate transition plans of countries such as Australia. The project will thus bring significant new research in philosophy to bear on a practical issue.

该项目旨在为划分世界剩余的“碳预算”（CB）提供严格的道德框架。为了避免气候变化，世界必须大幅限制温室气体的排放。该项目将对我们关于风险和危害的假设如何形成CB概念进行新的分析。鉴于各国过去排放的温室气体数量差异很大，这一研究还将使人们对未来排放权的分配有一个新的认识。该项目将分析CB将如何影响澳大利亚等国家的气候过渡计划。因此，该项目将带来重要的新的哲学研究，以解决一个实际问题。
