While nudging has garnered plenty of interdisciplinary attention, the ethics of applying it to climate policy has been little discussed. However, not all ethical considerations surrounding nudging are straightforward to apply to climate nudges. In this article, we overview the state of the debate on the ethics of nudging and highlight themes that are either specific to or particularly important for climate nudges. These include: the justification of nudges that are not self-regarding; how to account for climate change denialists; transparency; knowing the right or best behaviours; justice concerns; and whether the efficacy of nudges is sufficient for nudges to be justified as a response to the climate crisis. We conclude that climate nudges raise distinct ethical questions that ought to be considered in developing climate nudges.

气候轻推的伦理:将选择架构干预应用于气候政策的核心问题
尽管轻推已经引起了很多跨学科的关注,但很少有人讨论将其应用于气候政策的伦理问题。然而,并非所有围绕助推的伦理考虑都可以直接应用于气候助推。在这篇文章中,我们概述了关于轻推伦理的辩论状态,并强调了特定于气候轻推或对气候轻推特别重要的主题。这些包括: 非自私的推动的正当性;如何解释气候变化否认者;透明度; 了解正确或最佳的行为;正义问题;以及轻推的有效性是否足以证明轻推是对气候危机的回应。我们得出结论,气候助推引发了不同的伦理问题,在制定气候助推时应该考虑这些问题。
