About the event
Some of the most important issues in how to tackle the climate crisis pertain to climate justice, wellbeing, and risk management. The central questions here ar often highly abstract and theoretical, including:
How do our climate goals interact with the target of achieving a ‘wellbeing economy’?
What do we owe to future generations?
How should we justly distribute our resources in the fight against climate change?
How should policy makers strike the right balance between protecting our personal wellbeing and mitigating climate risks?
How can younger generations best harness the power of new technologies to mitigate future climate risks?
