Ökologie als soziale Frage
Environmental Justice: Wen trifft der Klimawandel?

Although climate change represents a threat to global civilisation which can no longer be denied, when it comes to the associated calls for action it is also a controversial matter of justice. In the theory of action, global problems such as climate change run into the need for clarification, as became evident in the 2009 UN Climate Change Conference: What aid should be given to those affected, especially in the Third World, who do not have access to the necessary means themselves? How can calls for action without institutional obligations be translated into practice on the basis of voluntary treaties? How should the relation between statehood, the free market economy and international justice be defined? And what role can the climate policy in Frankfurt play in this?
