This course will introduce students to the major concepts and debates related to the unequal effects of climate change and the ongoing efforts to combat such effects. We use ‘climate justice’ as a lens to comprehend and analyze the nexus between climate change on the one hand and social, economic, and political inequalities on the other hand. To accomplish these goals, we will use concepts from political science, environmental studies, and human rights.
