The aim of the course is to examine environmental change as a problem of governance. We scrutinize major governance dimensions - such as actors, institutions and problem structures - at multiple levels and across domains. This includes the interplay of government, market and civil society in efforts to mitigate and adapt to environmental change.  The course critically approaches th

Under de senaste decennierna har det blivit allt tydligare att mänskligt driven resursanvändning och miljöförändring orsakar föroreningar, förlust av biologisk mångfald och klimatförändringar i en skala som äventyrar jordens beboelighet. För att förstå och förklara dessa miljö- och hållbarhetsutmaningar krävs teoretisk och empirisk kunskap om varför politiska åtgärder hittills varit otillräckliga Over the past decades it has become increasingly clear that human-driven overconsumption, pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change endanger the habitability of the Earth. Environmental politics involves the study of green political theories, green movements and parties, international agreements and environmental policies. Planetary politics is characterised by eco-centric planetary relatio
