Environmental Ethics course available online from Harvard Extension School

Are You Concerned About Where
We Are Headed?
Do you think received ethical traditions are adequate for the task of guiding human activities in our cosmic circumstance?

OR

Do we need to re-examine and reorient
our collective behavior?
Do we need, in fact, to develop a new and more effective approach to environmental ethics simply to survive as a species in the ever-changing ecosystem we inhabit?

Do you think religious traditions have something helpful to bring to this discussion? Or are they part of the problem?
Do you want to join others in exploring these ideas and working toward a new environmental ethic?

To explore these issues, why not register for the online course?

“Environmental Ethics and Land Management”

Climate Accountability Institute

Our Core Work

Communication and publicity on climate accountability, climate damages, and climate solutions to individuals and groups working in economics, GHG inventories, fossil fuels, climate and energy policy, stranded assets and fossil reserves, law, ethics and philosophy, climate science, investing & divesting, insurance, shareholder activism, corporate accountability, finance, gadfly work, and thought-leaders around the world. We will continue our publicity work, write op-eds, engage through social media, and give media interviews.

Collaborative work with like-minded institutions and colleagues at Union of Concerned Scientists, Oxford University, Carbon Tracker, and other organizations to be announced in the new year.

Research & thinking on the nature and attribution of responsibility for climate change (a challenge to the conventional notion that consumers are responsible); quantify the potential emissions from proved recoverable reserves held by the Carbon Majors; design a pathway for actions and investments a responsible fossil fuel company should take; create a metric for mandated (or voluntary) net emission reductions via Carbon Capture and Storage or other verifiable offsets informed by historic contributions to global emissions, production levels, and the remaining global carbon budget (such as the IPCC’s 1 TtC budget, of which no more — and probably far less — than 455 GtC remain if we are to assure remaining below 2 °C); update the Carbon Majors analysis of fossil fuel and cement production (including mergers and acquisitions, new entities that meet the 8 MtC threshold) to 2013; engage with shareholder and investor groups, climate policy experts, and industry representatives; model the temperature response to Carbon Major’s historic production and attributed emissions of carbon dioxide and methane; and provide support to numerous initiatives that show promise to moving the needle on effective action to reduce emissions around the world.
