Abstract [en]

Climate change has been described as probably the largest threat to humanity in the contemporary world. A threat of this kind is a threat on every human being’s basic human rights and action is necessary. Since climate change concerns human rights, it is a query of ethics. Therefore the aim of this thesis is to analyze Swedish political debates as well as Sweden’s role in the international arena by looking at legal commitments. The political debates will be shown through the argumentative method with an analysis conducted by utilizing John Rawls’ “A Theory of Justice” with an extension of the theory by Charles Beitz as described by Steve Vanderheiden. An analysis of this kind ultimately shows that Sweden would be deemed unethical through their internal politics, but ethical in the international sphere.
