Professor Jeremy Moss is a distinguished academic at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), where he serves as Director of the Practical Justice Initiative and leads the Climate Justice Research program within the Faculty of Arts, Design & Architecture. His educational background includes a PhD and BA, though specific institutions are not detailed in the source material. Professor Moss's research focuses on the critical intersection of climate change and ethics, with particular emphasis on climate justice frameworks, the moral dimensions of renewable energy transitions, and corporate responsibility for climate harms. His work bridges political philosophy and applied ethics, addressing fundamental questions about responsibility, equity, and policy implementation in the context of the global climate crisis. He has pioneered research on the responsibilities of 'carbon majors' (fossil fuel producing corporations) and developed innovative frameworks for just climate transitions, particularly in rural Australian contexts. His recent publications demonstrate a cohesive research trajectory examining climate justice from multiple angles including carbon budget allocation, historical responsibility, subnational climate action, and the ethics of divestment. These works span disciplines including environmental philosophy, political theory, and applied ethics, with particular attention to subfields such as intergenerational justice, corporate accountability, climate governance, energy ethics, distributive justice, and the implementation challenges of climate policy. Eureka Prize for Ethics Australasia Association of Philosophy Media Prize Professor Moss has secured substantial research funding through multiple Australian Research Council grants, including an ARC Future Fellowship on 'Climate Justice,' an ARC Discovery grant for 'Ethics, Responsibility and the Carbon Budget' with international collaborators from Adelaide, ANU, and Oxford, and an ARC Linkage grant for 'A Just Climate Transition.' His research extends beyond academia through extensive media engagement where he regularly contributes expert commentary on climate justice issues in both Australian and international outlets including The Canberra Times, SBS News, ABC Radio National, National Public Radio USA, and Channel 5 news UK. He chairs the UNESCO working group on Climate Ethics and Energy Security and has been a visiting scholar at Oxford, Milan, and McGill universities, demonstrating his international recognition in the field of climate ethics.
