2 1. Profile and contents of the course This course provides an overview on global environmental governance and insights in the social, political, and economic processes that govern climate change. It consists of five topics: 1. Overview on global environmental politics: emergence and development of global environmental politics, main actors in global environmental politics, effectiveness of environmental regimes; 2. Development of climate governance from the international to the local level, role of state and non-state actors, climate policy of the major players (EU, USA, China); 3. Ideas and concepts relevant for the analysis of global environmental and climate governance, such as: polycentric and multi-level governance; (new) environmental policy instruments (such as emissions trading, labeling and certification); ecosystem-based governance; governance of risk, uncertainty and disaster; burden sharing and environmental/climate justice; 4. Different policy areas of climate governance (such as energy policy/energy transitions, transport policy, forest policy) and their implementation in countries in the North and South; 5. Political and economic dynamics emerging from the Paris Agreement, including the (changing) positions of major players. 2. Prerequisites The course requires enrollment in an eligible MA program and basic knowledge on climate change and environmental policy. 3. Learning Goals The major goals of the course are to enable students: 1. To understand the political and economic processes that govern climate adaptation and mitigation (such as the political and economic dynamics of flexible instruments; conflicts and their resolution in international negotiations from Rio to Copenhagen and Paris); 2. To understand the role of scientific research and the science-policy interface in climate change policy; to identify major theories and models from political science and economics which contribute to the understanding of climate governance (such as regime theory, risk governance, fairness in global politics, rational choice and game theory); 3. To apply these models and concepts to specific cases of climate governance at international, European, national and subnational levels (e.g. introduction of the EU Emission Trading System, promotion of energy efficiency and renewable energy, Covenant of Mayors); 4. To propose ways in which the climate governance regime can be transformed and developed. 4. Course requirements and grading Students are expected to read the assigned literature before class, participate actively in all group assignments, give a presentation (all students) and write an individual paper. Your final
3 grade will be based on the grades for your presentation (40%), your participation in class (10%) and your individual paper (50%). 5. Course material All course materials (assigned literature, lecture notes, etc.) will be made available through Moodle. Please check Moodle on a regular basis for updates. 6.
