It is grounded in the disciplines of political science and public policy.
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 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: (1) the policy options for mitigating climate change and adapting to its impacts, (2) the politics of climate policymaking, including the role of actors, interests, institutions and ideas in policy design, adoption and implementation and (3) understanding the key role of climate justice in shaping the ethics and politics of climate policymaking.
