| Inhalt |
This course is about the politics of survival. In a world where global warming has already risen beyond 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, communities in every corner of the world are exposed to increasingly frequent and severe episodes of extreme weather, including hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and flooding. How are societies adapting to this? And how are the dynamics of climate change adaptation shaping politics? This course offers an introduction to the politics of climate change adaptation which considers the roles of actors at various levels (international, national, firm level, community and individual). We conceptualise adaptation as a fundamentally political issue, both facilitated by policy and politics, whilst in itself shaping political outcomes.
Where existing literature on the politics of climate change has overwhelmingly focussed on climate change mitigation in the Global North, this course draws attention to the growing body of work on the politics of climate change adaptation. It considers how adaptation challenges vary between countries of the Global North and Global South and encourages critical engagement with the research designs and methods being used to study the politics of climate change adaptation. |

At the end of the course students should be able to:
• identify and describe ways in which actors at different levels (international, national, firm level, community and individual) are adapting to climate change;
• provide examples of how adaptation challenges differ between countries in the Global North and Global South;
• analyse potential impacts of climate change adaptation strategies or policies on politics;
• critically evaluate and reflect on research designs and methods used to study the politics of climate change adaptation.
