Every citizen of Norway has the right to a wide variety of benefits such as paid vacation and sick leave, universal healthcare, and free higher education. But does Norway, with its wage controls, high taxes, and interventionist state, provide its citizens with less individual liberty than most Americans experience in the U.S.? This lecture will offer a comparison of the welfare states of Scandinavia and the U.S., conceptions of Left and Right and Liberty, and the embrace of the Nordic path to individual liberty.

Description: Join in a conversation on criminalization of climate activists and their day in court with legal scholar Veronica Federico, Attorney Gaëlle Cognet, and one of the successful Swiss Climate Activists, Elsbeth Stern. 9 April 2024 the European Court of Human Rights decided in favor of the “Climate Grannies” that the Swiss Government had failed to meet its climate responsibilities and, therefore, violated their human rights. The case set global legal precedent. It will have impact for years to come. In a world where 80% of the people want more action from their governments on climate change, the case’s success highlights too how the courts increasingly play a central role in the sustainability movement. Moderator: Randall Halle, University of Pittsburgh Panelists: Gaëlle Cognet, Ashurst LLP Veronica Federico, University of Florence Elisabeth Stern, Board Member, Klima Seniorinnen
