    Description

    In the field of the environment, ethical studies generally focus on the justification of environmental measures, but rarely on the ethical problems that arise during their implementation. This lecture presents the method of principalism and analyses the implementation of certain environmental challenges. These change each semester the course is thought.

    Fall Semester 2020:

    This year we focus on the following environmental challenges: A) climate mitigation and adaptation, B) waste policy and minorities, C) nature conservation and invasive species. The lecture introduces their main ethical challenges and investigates some ethical conflicts in their governance.

    Condition of access

    Participation only possible after completion of the four basic environmental science courses (SSE.00101, SSE.00102, SSE.00103, SSE.00104)
