Climate change is a hot topic.

Climate change is a hot topic. In this lecture series renowned scientists and international speakers will talk about climate change and the philosophy of global justice. Can human rights, as recorded in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, protect us against the effects of climate change? Do they still apply to present and future generations? Or does the 21st century ask for new international and local institutions? We need a new way of thinking about justice and responsibility, by which we can counter the scarcity of resources and the division of wealth. Maybe the urgency of climate change can be the lever that is needed to reach worldwide agreement.
