Straights from bioethics in the face of the new scenarios of climate change

Abstract

The challenges posed by climate change to bioethics in the face of negative impacts on biodiversity raises “Change mindsets, not climate”; This is the theme of the public awareness campaign that is part of the UNESCO Climate Change Strategy 2018-2021, Drawn up in the context of the Paris Agreement 2015 (COP21) and the United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and which represents a profound change in the co-action human behavior and its relationship with the environment, a task that is imposed on bioethics as an object of reflection on the role that the new generations must assume if we want to save our planet. Beyond the denominations (ecoethics, technoethics, biotechnology ethics, environmental ethics, geoethics…), any ethical debate that has life as its epicenter in any of its forms can be considered, in full sense, of a debate of nature bioethics, whose purpose will be to preserve and promote the life of present and future generations and of nature with a sense of justice, in caring for vulnerable beings.
