Overview

How societies respond to climate change is significantly shaped by politics at the global, national, and local levels. The Climate Change Policy and Politics MSc offered by UCL is for students that want to study climate policy and politics together, to gain knowledge of practical policy tools and the politics of getting them adopted and implemented.

The programme has three core elements:

the policy options for mitigating climate change and adapting to its impacts,
the politics of climate policymaking, including the role of actors, interests, institutions and ideas in policy design, adoption and implementation and
understanding the key role of climate justice in shaping the ethics and politics of climate policymaking.

You will be additionally trained in cutting-edge quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Careers

On this MSc, you receive high-quality training in climate change policy and politics, political science and public policy theory and research methods, and undertake independent and original research. As part of this learning, you develop strong skills in policy analysis, political analysis, data analysis and interpretation, presenting your ideas. More broadly, this MSc equips you with skills related to leadership, critical thinking and problem solving, communication, time management and self-directed learning.
