What cumulative impacts needs is a simple solution to a complex problem, or at least a simplified approach if solution is a too ambitious goal. A solution implies that they would cease to exist, yet cumulative impacts are a part of everyone’s everyday lives. The question remains whether a feasible, standardized approach can be…
Mathematical engineering theories are useful in numerous ways, whether in providing fundamental relationships between the capabilities of emerging technologies and the resources they require; establishing fundamental benchmarks to evaluate new technologies on absolute scales, rather than only compared to previous technologies;…
We use the term “justice” in many climate contexts (e.g. “just transition”)—and indeed in a variety of other political and policy contexts (e.g. “social justice”). What does it mean? In this talk, I break down some common forms of justice from a philosophical point of view in order to inform climate science and policy. The goal…
