Climate Policy under Sustainable Discounted Utilitarianism [PDF]
Empirical evaluation of policies to mitigate climate change has been largely confined to the application of discounted utilitarianism (DU). DU is controversial, both due to the conditions through which it is justified and due to its consequences for ...
