School for sedition? Climate justice, citizenship and education
This paper expands the political liberal case for ‘education for justice’ to include climate justice education. It begins with the case for empowering and motivating learners to promote institutions for basic global and institutional justice. Beyond this, three challenges emerge. Firstly, the political liberal model is premised on free and equal citizens cooperating for mutual advantage. In fact, the flourishing of some has long been enabled by s…
Why it Can Be Permissible to Have Kids in the Climate Emergency
Having a child is one of the highest‐carbon decisions made by affluent individuals. Does this uncomfortable fact mean they should limit biological family size? This salient question also forces attention to two key issues. One is just how demanding individual climate justice duties are. The other is the danger of ‘ivory tower’ reasoning by privileged philosophers. On some topics, it is imperative carefully to integrate philosophical discussion wi…

Exploring the intersection of brain injury and mental health in survivors of intimate partner violence
Rationale: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most commonly occurring form of violence against women. The most common site of injury in IPV is the head, face, and neck, resulting in possible brain injury (BI). Independently, mental health (MH) concerns are highly prevalent among both IPV survivors and individuals with BI; however, no systematic review exists on the combined experience of BI and MH in IPV. Objective: The aim of this review was…
What Climate Justice Means and Why We Should Care
Ethical choices behind quantifications of fair contributions under the Paris Agreement
Population Ethics for an Imperfect World
Our collective impact on the environment results from a combination of population, affluence and technology. Human population, 2.6bn in 1950, is predicted to reach 10.9bn by 2100. So much we know. But beyond this starting point questions of population are presented in several ways in normative debate, often with problematic underlying moral assumptions. This paper clarifies and critiques four interconnected claims: (1) the Current Carrying Capaci…

Do parents have a special duty to mitigate climate change
This article argues that parents have a special, shared duty to organize for collective action on climate change mitigation and adaptation, but not for the reason one might assume. The apparently obvious reason is that climate change threatens life, health and community for the next generation, and parents have a special duty to their children to protect their basic human interests. This argument fails because many parents could protect their chi…
Climate Change and the Moral Agent
'Climate Change and the Moral Agent' examines the moral foundations of climate change and makes a case for collective action on climate change by appealing to moralised collective self-interest, collective ability to aid, and an expanded understanding of collective responsibility for harm.
Climate change, collective harm and legitimate coercion
Liberalism faces a tension between its commitment to minimal interference with individual liberty and the urgent need for strong collective action on global climate change. This paper attempts to resolve that tension. It does so on the one hand by defending an expanded model of collective moral responsibility, according to which a set of individuals can be responsible, qua ‘putative group’, for harm resulting from the predictable aggregation of t…
