SUMMARY:Climate Ethics And Climate Economics: Fat Tails - Imposing and Redistributing Risks
UID:20260616T000513Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm
TZID:Europe/London
LOCATION:Houghton Street\, London\, United Kingdom\, WC2A 2AE
DESCRIPTION:<p>This workshop will focus on large-scale risks caused by climate change. In particular\, we are interested in discussing theoretical\, empirical and normative questions arising from large-scale risks and so-called "fat tail" risk distributions. The realizations that climate change may well be catastrophic and the probabilities of catastrophic outcomes difficult to quantify has shifted the debate towards more "precautionary" approaches. Debates about the most rational response to large scale risks and uncertainty should be complemented by a normative analysis of risk imposition: under which conditions\, if any\, is it permissible to impose such risks or redistribute them from one group to another? The workshop seeks to bring together economists\, philosophers and practitioners to tackle these pressing questions.</p>\n<p>Papers will be pre-circulated\, with short presentations and comments from discussants.</p>\n<p>Please submit an abstract of 300-500 words before July 15 at:</p>\n<p><a href="http://goo.gl/forms/Xjm5zi1XPFRGXooo2">http://goo.gl/forms/Xjm5zi1XPFRGXooo2</a></p>\n<p>Some funding may be available for graduate students. Please indicate whether you would like to be considered.</p>
