I specialize in the problem of individual and group obligations in collective action contexts, the ethical dimension of climate change and the responses to it, the links between social justice and renewable energies, and the ethics of political violence such as war and terrorism. My latest publications focus on individual moral duties to reduce carbon footprints, global moral duties to combat world poverty, the problem of collateral damage in contemporary armed conflicts and the legitimacy of non-state agents to wage war.
