Episode Synopsis

Climate Ethics, Technology and Future VisionsIn this two-part episode, we sit down with two moral philosophers—Professor Antti Kauppinen and Dr. Simo Kyllönen from the University of Helsinki—to explore the ethical questions behind some of the most urgent issues facing the world today.Professor Antti Kauppinen is a Professor of Practical Philosophy at the University of Helsinki. His research focuses on moral psychology, well-being, and how we make ethical decisions. Dr. Simo Kyllönen is a political philosopher at the University of Helsinki, whose work explores global justice, environmental ethics, and the moral dimensions of systemic change.In part two, we turn our attention to the climate crisis, emerging technologies, and the ethics of future thinking. As the world grapples with accelerating environmental breakdown and the growing influence of artificial intelligence, we ask: What does collective responsibility mean in the face of global risks? Can technology itself be a moral actor—or is it only ever a tool? And what is the role of capitalism, rationality, and imagination when thinking about systems-level change?We close the conversation by asking our guests to share their own morally compelling visions for the future—what kind of world should we strive for, and how might we begin to get there?Global Visions is a non-profit association based in Helsinki, Finland with the purpose of bringing people and organisations together and developing ideas aimed at building a better world.Follow and learn more:Instagram: @globalvisionsry Bluesky: globalvisions.bsky.social TikTok: @globalvisionsry LinkedIn: Global Visions See our panels on YouTube: GlobalVisionsry More information: www.globalvisions.fi/en Our music is licensed from Premium Beat.
