Various policy issues in environmental and health-related matters force policymakers to trade human lives against other values. We seek to bring together scholars from philosophy, law and economics for a one-day conference to discuss whether and how this can be done in a morally permissible manner. The conference will feature original, unpublished papers of high quality.
