1How to deal with the redistributive impact of environmental goods? Assessing David Miller’s accountIn-Spire: Journal of Law, Politics and Societies 5 (2): 86-101. 2011.The provision of environmental goods has inevitably distributive implications because some will use or value environmental goods more than others. Most egalitarian theories of distributive justice, have been focused on the redistribution of privately-held goods and leave the redistributive impact of public goods, such as environmental goods, aside. One exception to this public goods gap in theories of justice is David Miller. According to Miller we need to measure the redistributive impact of pu…Read more

55A Fresh Look at 'Relational' Values in Nature: Distinctions Derived from the Debate on Meaningfulness in LifeEnvironmental Values 29 (4): 461-479. 2020.Some recent policy-oriented publications have put forward a third category of environmental values, namely relational or eudaimonic values, in addition to intrinsic and instrumental values. In this debate, there is, however, much confusion about the content of such values. This paper looks at a fundamental debate in ethics about a third category of reasons besides reasons from morality and self-interest, labelled as reasons of love, care or meaningfulness. This category allows us, first, to see …Read more

42Why Be Cautious with Advocating Private Environmental Duties? Towards a Cooperative Ethos and Expressive ReasonsJournal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 32 (4): 547-568. 2019.This article start from two opposing intuitions in the environmental duties debate. On the one hand, if our lifestyle causes environmental harm, then we have a duty to reduce that impact through lifestyle changes. On the other hand, many people share the intuition that environmental duties cannot demand to alter our lifestyle radically for environmental reasons. These two intuitions underlie the current dualism in the environmental duties debate: those arguing for lifestyle changes and those arg…Read more

17Individual Environmental Duties: Questions from an Institution-Oriented PerspectiveEthics, Policy and Environment 17 (1): 20-23. 2014.While Baatz provides an interesting account of individual climate duties, his account does not give much guidance with regard to particular acts, such as taking a flight. While everyone in the debate agrees that institution-oriented duties are important, the relevant question concerns the relation these have with lifestyle-oriented duties. In this comment, it is argued that the relation between institutions and duties is insufficiently examined and that Baatz therefore cannot deal with the follo…Read more

51Should Biodiversity be Useful? Scope and Limits of Ecosystem Services as an Argument for Biodiversity ConservationEnvironmental Values 24 (2): 165-182. 2015.This article examines the argument that biodiversity is crucial for well-functioning ecosystems and that such ecosystems provide important goods and services to our human societies, in short the ecosystem services argument (ESA). While the ESA can be a powerful argument for nature preservation, we argue that its dominant functionalist interpretation is confronted with three significant problems. First, the ESA seems unable to preserve the nature it claims to preserve. Second, the ESA cannot expl…Read more

49Environmental Refugees: A Misleading Notion for a Genuine ProblemEthical Perspectives 18 (2): 229-248. 2011.The underlying idea of the notion ‘environmental refugee’ is simple: environmental problems make certain regions less fit for human habitation and people are therefore forced to migrate. However, much of the debate on environmental refugees is polarised. It is argued that this polarisation follows from two different perspectives. The first points to the responsibility of industrial countries with regard to their contribution to environmental problems. The second is interested in policies towards…Read more
