Here are unpublished papers comments on which I highly appreciate:

• Possibly disastrous, but controllable -- on process-related dynamic decision making under uncertainty.
  This working paper addresses the topic of decision making in situations under uncertainty characterised by symmetric worst-cases outcomes: according to the best available knowledge, all options for action can lead to catastrophic outcomes in the worst case, and precise probabilities about the possible outcomes are not known. Such decision problems typically arise in the field of global environmental change policies.
• Ethics of Bioeconomy: Ethical Controversies between a Green-Growth-oriented and a Degrowth-oriented Bioeconomy Strategy
  This working paper discusses justifications of two controversial bioeconomy policy strategies. It is written within the BATATA-project.
