Climate Change Work
We are contributing to ground-breaking climate change research and shaping a sustainable future for generations to come.
The work we are doing in PAIS
Climate change is often viewed as a scientific and an economic problem – however it is also a deeply political problem. We bring the vital issue of politics to the forefront of the climate discussion. Our research explores the ways in which political decisions enable, constrain, and shape climate action; considers how we might all live well together, in a fundamentally changing world, and how we might respond to the climate crisis in fair and legitimate ways. We study the interactions between individuals and the governing structures that shape their experiences of the world, locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. Our lives are lived within structures, be they political, ideological, economic, social, or cultural, and those structures both enable aspects of social sustainability whilst also sometimes entrenching climate injustices. Our work on climate change sits within a broader Environmental Politics Research Cluster - please see here for more information.
