Climate change is a global phenomenon with skewed vulnerabilities: certain regions, peoples, and generations are projected to suffer more from climate change impacts than others. As a result, climate change raises profound ethical questions about fairness and responsibility. 

Prof. Kian Mintz-Woo is a faculty member at the Department of Philosophy at University College Cork (Ireland), and he is also affiliated with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis' Equity and Justice group (Austria). He works primarily on moral philosophy, both theoretical and applied to climate policy. Prof. Mintz-Woo’s philosophical research on climate informs his policy work. He is a member of the Irish Government’s Carbon Budgets’ Working Group, helping to propose and support national planning.
