The Convention Process and Ethical Issue • The process indicates Ethics and Moral are lacking in Climate Change negotiation • Overemphasizing market and efficiency • Lack of financial and technical support for vulnerability and adaptation • Ignore “inter-nation” and “inter- generation” equity • Fail to distinguish “Emission for Survival” from “Emission for Luxury”

  10. Toward Global Sustainable Development • Ethics and Moral for international environment is critically needed • Look at nature as integral part of us • Consider all humankind, all space and time • “Moderation” and “Sufficiency Economy” are important keys to dilute “Greedy” and Concentrate “middle path of life” toward sustainable development “Leading a contented life with few desires Being satisfied and therefore always happy”
