Subject outline
This subject provides students with an introduction to the implications of climate change to international relations. The subject is designed around four themes: (1) Understanding climate change, conceptualising the global climate system and the Earth as a finite entity and considering the scientific evidence for climate change and its impacts. (2) Climate change adaptation in the context of international relations, considering how individuals and states adapt to climate change. (3) Greenhouse gas mitigation in the context of international relations, investigating the interplay between domestic climate change politics, national foreign policy-making and the international climate change regime. (4) Constructive social action in global climate politics, motivating students to become engaged social, economic, political and institutional actors in climate change politics at local, national and international levels.
