Project description
Ethics and integrity framework for climate challenges
All sectors of society must adapt to confront global environmental and climate challenges. A comprehensive framework for research and innovation is essential to addressing issues related to environmental and climate ethics and integrity, in alignment with the European Green Deal, which advocates for innovative technologies and sustainable solutions to attain net-zero emissions in the EU by 2050. The EU-funded RE4GREEN project aims to establish an ethics and integrity framework for research and innovation in the European Research Area to facilitate the transition to a sustainable economy and society. RE4GREEN will employ a bottom-up approach to formulate guidelines and training programmes for researchers, ethics and integrity experts, advisors and ethics review boards.
Objective
There is growing awareness of the importance of having all sectors of society adapt to face a range of global
environmental and climate challenges, taking into account intergenerational justice. These challenges require developing
an encompassing framework for research and innovation (R&I) to address environmental and climate ethics and integrity
issues, which relate not only to R&I involving potentially significant environmental and climate repercussions (e.g. R&I
in the area of electro-magnetic fields), but also R&I specifically aiming to develop knowledge and technologies to address
environmental and climate challenges (e.g. geoengineering or biotechnology in food systems). RE4GREEN’s main
goal is to contribute to a European Research Area (ERA) ethics and integrity framework for research and
innovation activities designed to support the transition to a sustainable economy and society as envisioned by the
European Green Deal. While R&I has too often been part of the problem of environmental degradation and biodiversity
loss, a central pillar of the European Green Deal and associated legislation is to promote new technologies and sustainable
solutions to reach net zero emissions in the EU by 2050, and advance a range of other climate and environmental
objectives. Based on a bottom-up approach that uses the social lab methodology to reflect diverse stakeholder expertise,
RE4GREEN will develop operational research ethics and integrity guidelines, recommendations and training materials
and programmes for researchers, ethics and integrity experts and advisors and ethics review boards to make sure R&I
activities more holistically contribute solutions toward the Green Transition.
