ABSTRACT The assessments issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) aim to provide policy-makers with an objective source of information about the various causes of climate change, the projected consequences for the environment and human affairs, and the options for adaptation and mitigation. But what, in this context, is meant by ‘objective’? In practice, in an effort to address internal and external criticisms, the IPCC has regularly revised its methodological procedures; some of these procedures seem to meet the requirements of objectivity, at least as understood in a specific sense, but the relationship between objectivity and value-neutrality requires further investigation. The aim of this paper is to offer an appropriate philosophical account of objectivity, reconcilable with the fact that the IPCC is not value-free. I argue that Sandra Harding’s notion of strong objectivity is particularly well suited to this goal, and I examine the extent to which the current IPCC procedures match her account.

IPCC 的价值观和客观性

摘要 政府间气候变化专门委员会 (IPCC) 发布的评估旨在为政策制定者提供关于气候变化各种原因、对环境和人类事务的预期后果以及适应和气候变化的选择的客观信息来源。减轻。但是，在这种情况下，“客观”是什么意思？在实践中，为了应对内部和外部的批评，IPCC 定期修订其方法程序；其中一些程序似乎符合客观性的要求，至少在特定意义上是这样理解的，但客观性与价值中立之间的关系需要进一步调查。本文的目的是为客观性提供一个适当的哲学解释，与 IPCC 不是无价值的事实相协调。
