| Title |
Seminar mini: Philosophical foundations of climate change economics and policy (th, wp, pr, pp) |
| Description |
This interdisciplinary seminar explores the epistemic and ethical foundations of contemporary climate change economics and policy. We dive behind the technical sophistication of integrated assessment models, carbon pricing schemes, loss and damage mechanisms, among other climate economics and policy instruments to examine the important value-laden assumptions these tools rest on, for instance regarding uncertainty and risk, responsibility and justice, rationality and decision-making. We will critically discuss the philosophical and social science considerations that are invoked to justify these assumptions and will detail how these shape economic modelling of climate change, as well as global climate policy (e.g. in terms of carbon markets and climate finance); in this context, particular attention will be given to positive social tipping points. More generally, the transformative potential of these climate economic and policy instruments will be considered in a broader global justice perspective. The seminar draws on pluridisciplinary resources from climate economics and ethics, philosophy of science, political philosophy, ecological economics, and critical social sciences. The format is highly interactive, the participants discuss papers and exchange with a pluridisciplinary selection of speakers. |
