The evolving geopolitical landscape in response to climate change represents an exceptionally relevant and pressing framework for policy-making. Climate change is undeniably a part of a complex web of multiple crises that humanity is currently facing. Climate change is no longer merely an environmental issue; it is a complex and all-encompassing challenge that demands a nuanced policy response.

This course covers a wide range of geopolitical themes, examining them from the perspectives of both state and non-state actors. The course places particular emphasis on the roles of key actors in addressing the climate crisis, exploring alternative policy approaches, solutions to climate change, and their geopolitical impacts.

The course syllabus is structured to provide a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted climate change crisis. It covers various critical dimensions, including climate justice, economic and financial considerations, food security, biodiversity, global security, geoengineering, and global governance. Addressing climate change requires a holistic and interconnected approach, coupled with the development of practical skills to navigate the complexities of this global challenge.

Under the academic coordination and pedagogical guidance of the Institute of International Studies (FSV UK), twelve research experts from the Association of International Affairs' Climate Team will offer a diverse range of perspectives to graduate students in various social studies programs.
