Darrel

Darrel Moellendorf, professor of international political theory at Goethe University Frankfurt, maps the landscape of climate justice concerns in the Anthropocene, the new geological epoch defined by humanity’s impact on the natural world. Among the options for combatting climate change, he posits, are different types of geoengineering—new technologies to artificially cool the planet that come with their own trade-offs and risks.

This clip summarizes Professor Moellendorf's comments made as part of a roundtable hosted by the Carnegie Council’s journal, "Ethics & International Affairs," at the International Studies Association’s Annual Convention, which took place in April 2018.
