For example, it challenges us to ask what duties are owed to future generations, who are exceptionally vulnerable to our decisions about appropriate responses to climate change, yet have no say in them. But in media and political discourses on geo-engineering, such questions of justice appear to have been largely framed out of consideration. This presentation therefore explores nascent public views on justice and geoengineering, situating them with reference to academic philosophical theories of justice.<br \/>\nIn considering emerging technologies &#8211; such as geo-engineering &#8211; best practice suggests forms of consideration that open-up deliberation to diverse groups and topics are desirable. Several public engagement studies have been undertaken on geoengineering. Re-analysis of the transcripts of the most substantial of those reveals that justice concerns are frequently raised. This presentation will outline the issues raised by these publics and the ways they are expressed, noting contrasting responses to different geoengineering techniques.<br \/>\nAmongst other things the presentation will discuss<br \/>\n\u25aa emerging concerns over participation in decision making, against a perceived potential for vested interests to profit from particular climate responses;<br \/>\n\u25aa the extent to which care for future generations appears communitarian or cosmopolitan in nature, noting concerns over \u2018dumping\u2019 of negative impacts of geoengineering on poor countries; and<br \/>\n\u25aa the implications of unfair burden sharing for moral hazard, solidarity, and public support for accelerated mitigation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justice and geoengineering: initial findings from a re-analysis of a public engagement process THURSDAY 13 MARCH 2014, 1-2PM Speaker: \u00a0Duncan McLaren Location: \u00a0LEC Training room 2, Gordon Manley Building Abstract \u00a0Like climate change &#8211; to which it is typically seen &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/2014\/02\/26\/justice-geoengineering-lec-seminar\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-uncategorized","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":259,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212\/revisions\/259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/srnetwork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
