The purpose of this course is to present the main environmental ethics in terms of duties and rights in the relationships between humans in current and future generations and between humans and nature. The main sustainability paradigms (i.e. weak sustainability, a-growth, de-growth, strong sustainability) will be discussed in terms of the environmental ethics which characterize them. The main policies to efficiency (i.e. tax, standard, subsidy, permit) and agreements to equity (i.e. Nash bargaining and Kalai- Smorodinski solutions) will be applied to both pollution and resources (i.e. within static and dynamic contexts, with and without interactions) and presented in terms of the sustainability paradigms which typify them.
