One part of my research has been within applied ethics. Much of this research has been in connection with international interdisciplinary research projects. I have mainly been concerned with how factual statements and value judgements interrelate in various disciplines, including economics, risk analysis, environmental science, animal welfare science, democratic theory and climate science. I have also studied the precautionary principle and the concept of sustainability.
The other part of my research has been within value theory. I have worked on issues in formal axiology (including population ethics and the value of equality), decision theory and metaethics.
Currently, I am working on the issue of co-ordination in decision making concerning climate change.
