UD to host conference on 'Ethics of Climate Change'
Date:10/19/2009

nmental Panel on Climate Change.

"Climate change is now recognized as real and damaging to interdependent earth systems, but we still haven't determined how humanity should respond," said conference organizer Tom Powers, director of the Science, Ethics and Public Policy Program. "How much should we sacrifice to meet this challenge, or might the required changes not be 'sacrifices' at all, in view of the widely criticized American lifestyle? This conference will address questions like these at the intersection of economics, philosophy and policy science."

"Obviously, there is still scientific uncertainty about what types of lifestyle modifications might alleviate the climate change problem," said co-organizer Fred Schueler, professor of philosophy at the University of Delaware. "Even if science could answer these questions at this point, we would still face moral uncertainly concerning what kinds of lives we should live and what we owe to future populations."

On-site registration begins at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29 and is available throughout the conference.
