All Things Have Standing, Part 2: Others' Stories Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

All Things Have Standing is a course in human psychology and the ethics of artificial intelligence and environmental law inspired by a powerful idea from the audio drama Spark Hunter—that all things have ethical standing. All Things Have Standing is presented by Carnegie Council in collaboration with Fighter Steel Education. Inspired by a futuristic story of a highly advanced AI experiencing existential crisis, All Things Have Standing explores, with leading scholars, AI and environmental ethics, the psychology and philosophy which underlie them, and the extraordinary challenges they raise for the global community. The first part, entitled our "Our Stories," was published on this podcast feed last week. The second part of this course, "Others' Stories," is all available today in six sections on this podcast. Drawing on the work of classical and modern philosophers and inspired by Professor Silvia Benso and the Spark Hunter drama, Professor Chris DiBona presents a fresh way of looking at the people and things around us.

C2GTalk: What are the challenges facing international governance of solar radiation modification? with Marcos Regis da Silva Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

The fragmentation of international environmental governance creates challenges for states looking to create governance for solar radiation modification (SRM), says Dr. Marcos Regis da Silva, executive director of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) during a C2GTalk. Policymakers in the Americas welcomed a recent IAI meeting which provided more information about SRM, and the state of its governance, to help them take decisions about the best way forward.

As IAI's executive director, Regis da Silva is responsible for the provision of strategic advice to high-level policymakers on issues related to global change and their socio-economic impacts. He also provides advice on linkages between the IAI's scientific agenda and global governance environmental frameworks, especially the Sustainable Development Goals. Previously Regis da Silva held the post of chief, knowledge management and outreach services with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

C2GTalk: Why is broad-based governance needed for new climate technologies? with Per Heggenes Oct 30, 2022

Show notes

The world needs to look at every option to stop dangerous climate change, but some potential approaches—like solar radiation modification—are undeveloped and could bring significant risks and unintended consequences, says Per Heggenes, CEO of the IKEA Foundation during a C2GTalk. That is why it is important to support broad-based discussions now, involving every part of society, in order to prepare for the tough governance challenges ahead.

Per Heggenes is the CEO of IKEA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Stichting INGKA Foundation, the owner of the Swedish home furnishings company IKEA. Since becoming CEO in 2009, he has presided over the Foundation's evolution into a global, independent, strategic philanthropy focused on fighting climate change and improving livelihood opportunities for the poor. He serves on numerous advisory boards for humanitarian and development organizations and has taken a special interest in helping reform the way the global community works to embrace the rights of refugees and migrants. In 2019, Heggenes was appointed by the UN secretary general to join the High Level Panel on Internal Displacement with the goal of developing durable solutions to protracted internal displacement.

The Doorstep: What You Need to Know About Global Supply Chains, with the AP's Joshua Goodman Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

Almost a year ago, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act was signed into law by President Biden in response to consumer demands for more oversight of what we buy, how it is made and under what conditions. This one effort to bring more transparency to the murky world of global supply chains is now being overshadowed by companies' efforts to limit cargo data.

The Associated Press' Joshua Goodman joins Doorstep co-hosts Nick Gvosdev and Tatiana Serafin to discuss his latest reporting on the Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee and recommendations that will hinder efforts to hold companies accountable in foreign supply chains. Will consumers keep up the pressure or will midterm election concerns overtake transparency efforts?
