Overview
Key facts
London School of Economics and Political Science's Governing Climate and Environmental Change - Science, Policy and Politics course provides a unique, inter-disciplinary introduction to the governance of climate and environmental change. Students are introduced to the science of regional and global environmental change, and frameworks for understanding the relationship between humans and biophysical systems. This is followed by an examination of the different policies, instruments and approaches used by different actors to govern climate and environmental change. These include government, market (e.g. businesses) and civil society (e.g. NGOs and community groups) actors. Finally, the course reflects on the politics of environmental change, providing students with a critical perspective on contemporary forms of climate and environmental governance.
Throughout the course, real-world examples will be used to ground and illuminate the material covered in the lectures and classes. Additionally, two half-day field courses are included, exploring issues of urban climate change governance in London. The lectures will be taught by full-time LSE faculty, all of whom are also active researchers in the area of climate and environmental change and governance.Programme Structure
