Carnegie Council Unveils New Ethics-Based Tool to Accelerate the Implementation of Climate Action in Cities
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 7, 2025) - Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs has released a new free-to-access tool for professionals working to address or limit climate change impacts in cities. Drawing upon insights from a global community of ethicists, city government actors, and nonprofits, the tool provides a framework and interactive guide for how ethics can be applied to accelerate the delivery of climate action, better serving communities within urban environments, both today and into the future. [ Explore the tool ] To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Cities are at forefront of climate change accounting for approximately 70 percent of global CO 2 emissions yet covering only 2 percent of Earth's land. Even for those who recognize the urgency of taking climate action within cities, such as municipal employees, nonprofits, and private companies, there remains a lack of tools and long-term strategic guidance to assist with ethical implementation of climate mitigation and adaptation efforts at the local level. In response, the Council's Carnegie Ethics Accelerator convened a group of experts from around the globe to examine the unique moral and political challenges of advancing climate action within cities. From the Accelerator meetings, the Council developed a suite of resources for practitioners to leverage, including the Climate Action in Cities Tool, a short issue brief, and a selection of applied ethics strategies. These tools are designed to enable creative and innovative thinking when planning climate action interventions, adaptable to a wide range of stakeholders with varied resources. What implementation challenges are you aware of where applied ethics strategies could help? Carnegie Council wants to hear from you. Access the tool and select "Submit a Challenge" on the homepage to share your own ideas for how applied ethics could help accelerate the implementation of climate action. Your submissions and participation are essential for helping us expand and refine the tool over time. About Carnegie Council: Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is an independent 501(c) (3) nonprofit institution that works to empower ethics globally by identifying and addressing the most critical ethical issues of today and tomorrow. From our Global Ethics Hub in New York City, the Council identifies emerging ethical issues; convenes leading practitioners, academics, and next-gen leaders; builds active communities by embracing multilateralism and exploring shared values; and frames ethical perspectives by educating and engaging with audiences around the world. Founded by Andrew Carnegie over a century ago, the Council is the only nonpartisan institution working to empower ethics across international relations and defend the moral principles of international cooperation, democracy, humanitarianism, and fidelity.

Global Ethics Day 2025 to Take Place on October 15 with the New Theme of "Ethics Re-Envisioned"
To meet this challenging moment in world affairs, Carnegie Council calls on individuals and organizations to re-envision the role of ethics in their personal and professional lives New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - April 10, 2025) - Carnegie Council is pleased to announce "Ethics Re-envisioned" as the new theme for the 12th annual Global Ethics Day, which will take place on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. This year's Global Ethics Day comes at an incredibly fraught time in world affairs. Long-standing principles of humanitarianism, cooperation, fidelity, and pluralism are being openly challenged across our personal and professional lives. Safe civic spaces are shrinking, and ethics is being co-opted by selfish actors to advance their own interests at the expense of others. Although these developments are daunting, we can meet this challenging moment and change course. On October 15, 2025, Carnegie Council invites individuals, schools, nonprofits, and businesses from around the world to activate their communities for Global Ethics Day. Together, we can pursue a more just and peaceful world by re-envisioning ethics. Be sure to visit the Global Ethics Day website to access key messages and to download our 2025 infographic for ideas on how to get involved. Have a question about Global Ethics Day? Get in touch with the Carnegie Council team. In planning your own activations in 2025, we invite you to reference examples from last year's Global Ethics Day: In South Africa, the City of Johannesburg Municipality hosted a half-day event in commemoration of Global Ethics Day. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India developed a robust program for Global Ethics Day including YouTube videos, a 100+ page journal, and numerous events. A network of healthcare organizations published an op-ed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the International Consensus Framework. The Bank of Valletta in Malta marked the day by reinforcing its ethical values through The Power of Your Voice campaign, which encouraged employees to speak up for positive change. Additionally, the bank published an article on Global Ethics Day to raise awareness among the general public.
