This course explores the role of the global climate governance regime (GCGR) in devising ways to mitigate climate change and adapt to impacts that are already inevitable.

The GCGR is the global system of norms and regulations applicable to climate change. It has emerged from the recognition that addressing climate change requires complex interaction between actors and institutions at multiple levels, and alignment of public, private, international, national, subnational and local regulations.

The course aims to provide students with the tools to critically analyze complex, multi-level climate governance. Governance here refers to ways to regulate, order, govern, or manage a geographical region, or an issue (climate change). To understand how the GCGR functions, and plays out differently across contexts, we focus on the Amazon. The case study helps in bringing an understanding of how countries from the Amazonian basin are dealing with this specific multi layered governance context.
