Course Description:
This class will help students acquire an understanding of the history of UN climate negotiations, including the Paris Agreement and the architecture of the new global climate regime. They will learn about the main institutions, actors and processes relating to climate and energy politics in Europe, both at the EU and the national level. Students will also develop their knowledge about the equivalent in the United States, both at the national level, as well as the sub-national level under Trump (through a multi-level framework). This will include a nuanced understanding of role non-state actors as building blocks of the climate regime. Students will also acquire useful comparative insights through contrasting transatlantic US/EU perspectives, as well as comparisons with other major powers such as China. In addition, they will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge during a live simulation of the COP 26 during the final class.
