Overview

Climate change raises many political questions. Why has it been so difficult to implement ambitious climate policies? What are the political obstacles to a clean energy transition? What are the prospects of reaching just and effective climate agreements at the international negotiations?

Key Facts and Outcomes

Many talk of ‘climate justice’, but what does ‘climate justice’ mean? Who should pay for ‘mitigation’, ‘adaptation’ and ‘loss and damage’? How do climate policies affect the politics of development?

This programme enables students to understand the politics of climate change in all its diversity – in different societies across the world, and at the global, regional and the national level.

The Politics of Climate Change course is taught by leading figures in the field. The University of Warwick programme introduces students to competing theories, core political concepts and the key debates surrounding climate politics. In this way, we develop a better understanding of the political factors affecting one of the greatest challenges that humanity faces.
