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.

Much like pandemic mitigation, combating climate change requires difficult global cooperation. The emergence of new climate-altering technologies further complicates this, raising critical questions about governance, leadership, and ethics.

The Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) addresses these challenges. For three years, C2G has engaged global decision-makers across governments, the UN, and civil society. They advocate for effective, inclusive governance of emerging climate technologies, urging proactive risk management and transparent global monitoring before events escalate.

Suma Peesapati, lawyer and board president of Communities for a Better Environment, argues that despite California’s far reaching policies on climate issues being lauded as progressive, they do not always improve the lives of people in low income communities of color, which are most heavily impacted by pollution. In particular she takes aim at the state’s flawed cap-and-trade program.

This clip summarizes Ms. Peesapati’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.

We are already living with climate change; and although countries have pledged to limit global warming to 2 °C, success seems highly unlikely. This panel explores how to advance ethical leadership on climate justice globally, nationally, and locally in the years ahead. Topics include the Paris Agreement and commitments going forward, geoengineering governance, the problems in California, and the creative ways the Seychelles are coping.

This roundtable, sponsored by Carnegie Council's "Ethics & International Affairs" journal, took place at the International Studies Association (ISA) Annual Convention in San Francisco on April 5, 2018.

Janos Pasztor, Executive Director of the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G), discusses his organization's work on governing emerging climate intervention technologies. These include carbon removal and solar radiation management, aimed at quickly cooling the planet. He highlights current research and the urgent need for comprehensive governance frameworks, which are currently absent.

C2G's mission is to raise awareness across society and initiate governance discussions among international organizations and governments worldwide.
