Climate change is one of the most important issues we are currently facing. There are many ways in which states can fight climate change. Some of them involve interfering with citizens’ personal lives. The question of whether such interference is justified is under-explored in philosophy. This paper focuses on a specific aspect of people’s personal lives, namely their informational privacy. It discusses the question of whether, given certain empirical assumptions, it is proportional of the state to risk its citizens’ privacy or to risk infringing its citizens’ right to privacy to fight climate change. The main claim this paper argues for is that if fighting climate change and protecting our privacy conflict, we have good reason to fight climate change rather than protect our privacy.

气候变化是我们目前面临的最重要的问题之一。各州可以通过多种方式应对气候变化。其中一些涉及干预公民的个人生活。这种干预是否合理的问题在哲学中并没有得到充分的探讨。本文重点介绍人们个人生活的一个特定方面，即他们的信息隐私。它讨论了这样一个问题：根据某些实证假设，国家是否与国家冒险冒险其公民的隐私权或冒着侵犯其公民隐私权的风险来应对气候变化成正比。本文主张的主要主张是，如果应对气候变化和保护我们的隐私存在冲突，我们有充分的理由对抗气候变化而不是保护我们的隐私。
