Speaker: Prof. Dr. Miranda A. Schreurs, Technical University of Munich (25 April 2022)


The Chair of Comparative Politics with a focus on Environmental and Climate Politics (Otto Suhr Institute of Political Science) had the pleasure of hosting Professor Miranda Schreurs for a lecture on climate change politics. The lecture was part of the series “Stockholm+50: Five Decades of Global Environmental Governance”. Professor Schreurs offered an insightful overview of the topic: How can we stop the global rise of carbon emissions? And what has been done so far?


Professor Schreurs outlined the failures and successes of the various international agreements that have shaped climate change politics since the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio. She also defined the key features of today’s forms of governance, and identified the main climate policy challenges to be faced: fragile democracies, rising populisms, endangered small islands, the Russian war in Ukraine, the on-boarding of developing countries, and climate refugees.
