Online masterclass: “Reasons for hope amid turbulence? Global climate governance in 2025”

Joseph Earsom, Head of the Master’s in Climate and Sustanability Politics and Associate professor in Environmental and Climate Policy, is offering a masterclass on the theme “Reasons for hope amid turbulence? Global climate governance in 2025”.

Abstract : Although the climate crisis continues to worsen, geopolitical tensions and economic headwinds have cast a dark cloud over global cooperation on climate change. This webinar reviews recent developments in global climate governance, including COP30 in Brazil, while introducing students to the key role that local actors continue to play in pursuing climate goals, despite tensions at the international level. It also highlights opportunities in renewable energy and climate finance that can help us transform communities around the world.
