Climate Ethics Public Symposium, Sept. 8

Thursday, Sept. 8, 7:30-9 p.m.
UAA/APU Consortium Library, Room 307

How should we think about climate change? Ethically, what part should we play in the Earth's changing climate? While many of us still struggle to understand the underlying science well enough to evaluate climate-related controversies, a host of politicians, policy makers and scientists have argued that climate change is first and foremost an ethical issue.

The public is invited to engage with five senior environmental bioethicists and philosophers who are currently helping to frame, shape and discuss the ethical and philosophical dimensions of climate change through their own work.

This free public symposium is scheduled for Thursday at the Consortium Library.

The Climate Ethics conference is funded by the National Science Foundation and sponsored by the UAA Department of Philosophy.
