摘要

世界各地的个人和政府都愿意为解决新冠肺炎带来的集体行动问题做出巨大牺牲。这为一些评论家提供了新的希望，即我们有可能解决有史以来最大的集体行动问题：全球气候变化。在本文中，我们认为这过于乐观。我们为两项主要主张辩护。首先，这两个集体行动问题非常不同，不幸的是，个人为解决新冠肺炎带来的问题而采取的行动几乎没有表明我们能够解决气候变化带来的问题。第二，各国为应对新冠肺炎而采取的行动可能证明，它们将继续在解决气候危机方面失败。

Collective Responses to Covid-19 and Climate Change

Both individuals and governments around the world have willingly sacrificed a great deal to meet the collective action problem posed by Covid-19. This has provided some commentators with newfound hope about the possibility that we will be able to solve what is arguably the greatest collective action problem of all time: global climate change. In this paper we argue that this is overly optimistic. We defend two main claims. First, these two collective action problems are so different that the actions that individuals have taken to try to solve the problem posed by Covid-19 unfortunately provide little indication that we will be able to solve the problem posed by climate change. Second, the actions that states have taken in response to Covid-19 might—if anything—even be evidence that they will continue to fail to cooperate towards a solution to the climate crisis.
