SUMMARY:The State in the Anthropocene: The Comparative Politics of Climate Institutions and Climate Policies
DESCRIPTION:Despite the scientific evidence accumulated on the human origins of climate  change, and the Paris agreement signed in December 2015 by 196 countries,  global public policy addressing climate change seems to fall short of its own  objectives to contain global warming within two degrees by the end of this  century. This lecture presents an institutional perspective to explore this  gap between the identification of climate change as a major issue for  humanity, and the policy outcomes delivered in response on the ground.  Institutions matter. They make the difference, either locking in social  arrangements supporting fossil fuel economies, or alternatively facilitating  energy transitions and developing climate adaptation and resilience. The  lecture will first propose a framework to analyse climate institutions and  climate policies under this angle. It will then map the climate institutions  between the EU, China (PRC), and the USA, in an attempt to characterize  variations in climate change regimes in the three cases. We will conclude  with considerations on the impact of climate change on statehood, and on  international relations in the contemporary context.Prof. Dr. Richard Balme is full professor of political science at Sciences  Po, Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics.   His lecture will be moderated by Dr. Stefan Schäfer, research group leader at the Research  Institute for Sustainability - Helmholtz Centre Potsdam and fellow at Harvard  University and the University of Oxford.Further information here.
