Dr Christian Baatz is a research associate at the Department of Philosophy at Kiel University and head of a research project investigating what constitutes a fair distribution of funds provided by the international community to the Global South for adaptation to climate change. Prior to this, he completed his doctorate in philosophy with a thesis on the justification and practical possibilities of compensating the victims of climate change. Not least because of his studies in environmental sciences, his work aims to analyse the normative aspects of current social and ecological problems and to exchange views on them in inter- and transdisciplinary contexts.
