Conference description

Risk and responsibility are topics of growing concern within philosophy and beyond. The concepts themselves, their relationship to each other, and how they manifest in different fields are still being worked out. This online conference brings together scholars thinking about various aspects of risk and responsibility as related to law and climate change, respectively.
