Purpose and Contents

This seminar provides an overview of global climate governance, incl. overarching conceptual frameworks, a variety of empirical subdomains, and central challenges encountered in global climate governance. Using a portfolio approach to examinations, students will prepare a range of individual and group assignments throughout the semester.

Learning Goals

Knowledge

Students will

• gain an overview of theoretical concepts and empirical domains of global climate governance and
• understand the strategic challenges in managing long-term climate policy challenges.

Skills

Students will undertake a range of assignments, both individually and in small groups. In particular, they will broaden their skills basis by

• introducing the class to two mandatory readings and
• responding to a central, yet hitherto unsolved, global climate policy challenge.

Competences

Students will

• apply a range of concepts and methods to generic global climate (and environmental) governance challenges,
• diagnose as well as propose remedies for long-term environmental climate challenges,
• work individually as well as in groups on a diverse set of assignments.

• explore new ideas for, e.g., for subsequent use in their Master thesis, and
