Two most recent comprehensive reports about the situation with the climate, from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Aug 2021 and Feb 2022), are nothing less teryfying. We have already pumped so much greenhouse gas into the climate system that, even if we drastically reduce our emissions almost immediately (a highly improbable scenario), we're likely to produce a temperature increase of 1.6℃ over pre-industrial times by the middle of the century. The resulting extremes of weather will render many areas of the planet uninhabitable, with devastating consquences for human lives and livelihoods all over the world. This presentation will consider how can we best respond to this situation - individually, socially, politically, economicall, fairly and justly - from the perspectives of Chinese and Japanese as well as Western philosophy.
