Sixty
people from 30 countries join Michael Sandel in a digital studio at
Harvard to discuss the philosophical issues underlying the world's
response to climate change. The developed world has caused climate
change, belting out greenhouse gases as it became rich (at least, most
people think so). But the developing world – huge and growing economies
like India and China – is increasingly a big part of the problem. So who
should pay to fix the mess? Is it fair to penalise the developing world
as it strives to catch up? Is it acceptable that rich countries be
allowed to buy credits, giving them permission to pollute? And is it
time to re-think our material aspirations?
