Public Affairs and Government Baruch College

Panel discussion with speakers from the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation, the Robinhood Foundation, and the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation.

Climate change and our broader ecological crisis pose a serious challenge to our basic social and political systems. A variety of styles of response to this scale have emerged. Some involve emphasis on centralized decision-making by experts, whether the “Green New Deal” scale national policies of states or by way of the returns-driven focus of institutional investors and asset managers. Others call for more distributed decision making, emphasizing market mechanisms like carbon taxes and offsets or the role of sub-national public entities in energy transition. The talk will present examples of each of these approaches and discuss the underlying implications and stakes for democratic life and institutions. Guest Speaker: Dr. Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University.
