The Working Section for Moral and Political Philosophy at the Institute for Philosophy would like to invite you to join us for a round table discussion to mark the first anniversary of Trump’s return to the White House. On January 20, one year after his second inauguration, we will meet to discuss the implications of his tenure for climate research and climate policy. Last year, we hosted an event exploring how his election and the expected political measures might affect these fields. Now, we would like to return to this topic with a new discussion.
Title: Drill, Baby, Drill - One Year Later: What Has Changed for Climate Research and Climate Policy?
Where? Hilmgasse 4/1, SR 129.11 as well as online via Zoom https://uni-graz.zoom.us/j/63287619646?pwd=rGdgb4NZUbOdpdpLbHBbT9kjKuCkYT.1
When? January 20, 4:30 pm
There will be short contributions by
Sabine Fuss
Stephen Gardiner
Gottfried Kirchengast
Lukas Meyer
Darell Möllendorf
responding to three key questions:
- Has the direction of research regarding climate change changed in the first year of Trump's presidency and, if so, how do you assess these changes?
- Have the strategies of coping with climate change been adapted to the new political environment and, if so, how do you assess these adaptations?
- Has the role academics working in the area of climate changed and should it change? Should they assume a more activist position?
After the event, there will be a get-together that gives us the opportunity to continue our discussions. Food will be provided. We are looking forward to you joining us! For more information, please refer to the invitation.
