November 15, 2024
Room 3A, Universitätsstraße 7 (NIG)
Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna
A declaration of climate emergency calls for a radical break from business-as-usual in climate policy. Yet it raises crucial moral, political and institutional questions: Should the demands of urgency and the extent of potential harm alter procedures of decision-making or frameworks of justification? Which courses of action/institutions are permissible to avoid the harms of global warming? How should we understand responsibilities for remedying loss and damage as well as future generations in the context of climate emergency? This one-day workshop will bring together researchers working on the above and related issues surrounding climate emergency.Speakers:Kathrin von Allmen (Harvard University)Ali Emre Benli (University of Vienna)Angela Kallhoff (University of Vienna)Ross Mittiga (SOAS University of London)Tracey Skillington (University College Cork)The workshop is free, but places are limited.
