When climate change threatens to erase communities, who decides their fat and on what moral grounds?

Severe rains or droughts, storms, wildfires, and small island states disappearing into the ocean. The effects of climate change are forcing an increasing number of people to abandon their homes across the world. What’s morally at stake when that nightmare scenario becomes reality? Ethicist Jamie Draper (Utrecht University) discusses the case of a small Alaskan town that faces severe shore erosion. Who makes the decision to save the village or move the entire community? What would a democratic relocation process entail? Where are people going? Draper shows these aren’t just practical questions, but also philosophical ones.
