Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article is flagged as being written like a personal reflection, personal essay, or argumentative essay. Much of the content of this article feels like an academic paper as opposed to an encyclopedia of information.

Evaluate the article
The introductory sentence is good, but the article very quickly begins to look like original research. While written well, it does not follow Wikipedia guidelines of neutrality. The tone of this article sounds persuasive. I think the most objective section of this article so far is the Collaborate Program on the Ethical Dimensions of Climate Change section. This section is neutral and simply states information instead of providing original research. I would recommend modeling some of your work after this section if/when working on rewriting this article.

Several of the references are very outdated, so try finding articles that have been published within the last 5 years. There are some claims within the article that also require a citation, so mitigating those issues would also be useful.

The talk page has some great starting points for editing. Multiple users have brought up 'Public goods' Comparisons, so it might be worthwhile spending some time looking into how you can incorporate those comments.

This article is an underdeveloped start class article. There's some good content here, but the style of writing needs to resemble an encyclopedia instead of a research paper.
