Overview
The world is becoming more complex, not less. Climate risk, geopolitical instability, green transitions and technological disruption are reshaping the systems we live and work within.
These crises are not isolated events. They are shaped by power: by financial systems, governance structures, institutions and hierarchies of knowledge. Understanding who benefits, who bears the costs, and how decisions are made is essential to navigating today’s environment.
This course offers a focused introduction to political ecology, equipping you to analyse how “hard” and “soft” power influence markets, policy and public debate. You will critically examine green governance tools such as carbon markets and certification schemes, and explore how access to knowledge shapes justice and outcomes.
For professionals, this insight is not just socially important, it is strategically valuable. Better understanding of power and systemic risk leads to better decisions.
