Forschungsgebiete

Our current research focuses on the following themes :

  • Climate ethics, in particular the question of how to bring perspectives from the North and the South better into a better global dialogue
  • The ethics of risk and uncertainty, in particular the question of whether we should cultivate hope to achieve grand visions, such as the Sustainable Development Goals
  • Population ethics, in particular the question of whether there should be restraint in publicly discussing limits to population growth
  • Short-termism, in particular the question of designing political institutions which counteract the short-termist bias current democracies display
