2009-2011 Theme: Climate Ethics and Climate Equity

The two-year inquiry on Climate Ethics and Climate Equity examines overarching ethical issues involved with climate change as well as solutions that focus on equity and environmental justice, both domestically and internationally. During 2009-10 we focus on ethics and environmental law, ethics and science in climate change discourse and policy, the role of tribes as sovereign nations, green jobs, and youth and intergenerational equity in the climate crisis.
