Fausto Corvino

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in Philosophy, Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain)

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in Philosophy, Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) I am a political and moral philosopher working at the intersection of ethics and public policy. My main research interests lie in climate and intergenerational justice. I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in Philosophy at the Hoover Chair in Economic and Social Ethics at UCLouvain (Belgium), where I am conducting an individual research project entitled “Should we prohibit luxury emissions of greenhouse gases, on top of price constraints?” (PROHIBLUX). Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in Practical Philosophy at the University of Gothenburg (Sweden). There I was a member of the Financial Ethics Research Group and conducted an individual research project on the ethics of market-based approaches to climate policy. Before that, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Moral Philosophy at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies (Pisa, Italy) and as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Turin (Italy). During this time I worked mainly on global justice, economic ethics, both theoretical and practical issues related to intergenerational justice, and the ethics of the climate transition. The very broad question guiding my research is how the burdens and benefits of an ambitious climate transition should be fairly distributed, both domestically and globally, and across generations.
