Myron Robertson 26 November 2023 PHL-218 The Paris Agreement The Paris Agreement is based mostly on Western ethical frameworks, but it also integrates components from Eastern and Indigenous Tribal viewpoints. The ethical framework that is primarily used includes utilitarianism, justice, fairness, and human rights. By tackling climate change, the Paris Agreement intends to maximize global utility by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming. This is consistent with the utilitarian ideal of doing the most benefit for the greatest number of people. The agreement acknowledges the notion of common but differentiated responsibilities, while also recognizing previous emissions discrepancies. This reflects distributive justice concepts, as it places more responsibility on developed nations. Lastly, this agreement emphasizes the importance of human rights protection in the context of climate change, emphasizing the vulnerability of marginalized groups. When it comes to the Eastern and Indigenous Tribes, the Paris Agreement adopted the Eastern frameworks of Confucianism (The emphasis on harmony and balance matches with the Paris Agreement's goals of global collaboration and ecological concord) and Buddhism (The Buddhist notion of interconnectedness resonates with the awareness of the interconnection of all species and ecosystems). The agreement also adopted frameworks from Indigenous Tribes with a connection to nature by emphasizing a strong bond with nature and respect for ancestral land. They acknowledged the value of indigenous knowledge and the roles they played in climate reduction and adaptation. To some extent, they also found the necessity to respect ancestral lands and territories, which is vital in many Indigenous ethical systems.

The framework or frameworks adopted from these Western, Eastern, and Indigenous Tribal viewpoints eventually determined which nations would sign on to the treaty. The treaty primarily used the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities," which played a significant role in determining which nations signed the treaty. Eastern frameworks mentioned above such as the pursuit of balance and harmony, contributed to the overall success of global cooperation and environmental stewardship, encouraging more nations to participate. Indigenous framework influence included the agreement's recognition of indigenous peoples' rights and knowledge, they believed it was critical in gaining support from nations with significant indigenous populations. These ethical issues influenced participation, and decisions and helped form the treaty's structure with a focus on shared responsibility and the awareness of the interconnection of global ecosystems and various communities.
