Justice and Climate Transitions

In the lead up to the 2015 UN Paris Climate Conference the Institut d’études avancées in Paris will hold an interdisciplinary conference on ‘Justice and Climate Transitions’. The Conference will bring together leading thinkers from philosophy, policy and the social sciences to examine the moral, social and political issues at stake in transition to a low carbon society. The conference will discuss how might we evaluate different transition pathways and low-carbon futures in terms of social justice. The aim is to present both philosophical and critical social scientific perspectives on these questions.
