Swiss IDG Hub Dec Gathering - Ethical issues of COVID-19 crisis management
The COVID-19 Pandemic is a global crisis that has impacted our lives, our societies and our future. It has resulted in a number of ethical considerations around our work habits, our human relationships, our trust in governments and health expertise, resource distribution, the prosperity and leadership of businesses and the prospective traumas of our children.
It has also raised a number of questions on the legal and ethical responses of future global crises. As we increasingly encounter resource limitations in all its forms, natural and manufactured, we will be forced as individuals and as communities to navigate short-term and long-term demands, complex decision-making, and to find innovative solutions.
This workshop is based on the two books on COVID-19 I co-edited with Cheryl Patton. Our authors Dr Janis Balda & Joanna Stanberry will present their chapter Finding Good Work in COVID-19: Legal and Ethical Challenges for Sustainability enriched by Mr Peter Smith’s expertise. The workshops aims at looking into how the IDGs enable individuals to respond to the major sustainability questions in a post-COVID-19 world. The IDGs can help individuals exercise personal and corporate responsibility by addressing the difficulties, providing oversight, offering direction, pursuing honest governance, and seeking fair and equitable solutions.
