    The event is free and open to the public. It will be streamed live through the WCFIA Facebook page. 

    Kathryn Sikkink will share the climate change discussion from her forthcoming book, The Hidden Face of Rights: Toward a Politics of Responsibility. In light of the US federal government’s unwillingness to make urgent domestic and foreign policy changes to address climate change, all actors socially connected to the problem and able to act must step up and take responsibility for change. The talk will both draw on theories of forward-looking responsibility for justice, and provide practical and evidence-based ideas for the most effective actions for individuals and institutions to address climate change.

    Speaker:

    Kathryn Sikkink, Ryan Family Professor of Human Rights Policy at Harvard Kennedy School and the Carol K. Pforzheimer Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

    Chair:

    Melani Cammett, Clarence Dillon Professor of International Affairs; Acting Director, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs; Chair, Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies, Harvard University.
