Shared Responsibility: A Collective Approach to Addressing Climate Change

Abstract

This paper explores the concept of shared responsibility in tackling climate change, emphasizing the need for collective action from nations, corporations, and individuals. It argues that climate change is a global issue that cannot be addressed by any single actor alone, and instead requires a unified approach that includes government policies, corporate accountability, and individual efforts. By examining the roles and ethical responsibilities of different stakeholders, the study highlights the importance of equity and climate justice in crafting effective solutions. Through a blend of philosophical ethics and practical strategies, the discussion emphasizes the urgency of global cooperation and the necessity of creating sustainable and inclusive solutions to the climate crisis.
