Water Ethics and Water Resource Management (Ethics and Climate Change in Asia and the Pacific (ECCAP) Project, Working Group 14 Report)
The report is the product of international collaboration between members of Working Group 14 on “Water Ethics and Water Resource Management” established under the Chairship of the Center for Water Research, Peking University, China, under the framework of the Ethics and Climate Change in Asia and Pacific project (ECCAP), launched in September 2007 by the Regional Unit in Social and Human Sciences in Asia and the Pacific (RUSHSAP) at UNESCO Bangkok.
The Ethics and Climate Change in Asia and the Pacific (ECCAP) project aims to encourage science and value-based discussions on environmental ethics to produce substantive cross-cultural and multidisciplinary outputs for long-term policy making. The aim of the ECCAP project is not to formulate universal economic or political plans of how to deal with these issues. Rather, the working groups of the project aim to increase awareness and discussion of the complex ethical dilemmas related to energy and the environment, and to identify scientific data, and available ethical frameworks of values and principles for policy options that have proven useful in facing the challenges in certain communities and countries. The projects are ongoing, and the details of this report that extends the Asia-Pacific Perspectives on Bioethics series, can be found in the Executive Summary.
