Prof. Marc Davidson focuses in particular on the moral question of how we should act in the light of sustainability and environmental issues. Why should we be concerned about future generations? What duties do we have to the other species that inhabit this planet? What is a fair distribution of the costs of environmental policy among the population? What is the responsibility of the individual citizen or consumer? Marc Davidson approaches these questions in a multi- and interdisciplinary manner by connecting the field of ethics with knowledge about economics, ecology, psychology and other fields.
