| Inhalt |
Climate change has become one of the most pressing and conflictual issues of our times as evidenced by large-scale social movements such as the world-wide Fridays for Future protests or the Yellow Vests in France. We employ an analytical perspective on how countries and individuals are trying to address climate change. Our focus is on understanding the relationships between environmental conditions and policy choices by states and non-state actors. We cover key topics such as global climate negotiations, public opinion on climate policy, policy design, climate fairness, environmental inequality, and issue linkage. |
