Class Notes: COURSE TITLE: Climate & Energy Ethics COURSE DESCRIPTION: In this seminar, we will take an interdisciplinary approach to climate ethics, including the emerging field of energy ethics. Some questions we will consider include: What’s a fair way to distribute the burdens of climate change? What do emitters owe those impacted by climate change? Am I responsible for reducing my emissions? A significant portion of the class will be dedicated to energy ethics. Is there a right to energy? What is a fair and just way to transition to renewable energy?
