Full Description
This book demonstrates the importance and relevance of politics in overcoming the challenges related to climate change and global warming. Dag Harald Claes advocates for an interdisciplinary approach to the green energy transition and for politics and political science to play an essential role in this.
Chapters cover ten core aspects of politics and political science which are discussed in relation to the climate challenge. Claes highlights how climate policy is centred around energy and the need to substitute the reliance on fossil fuels with non-emitting energy sources, but affirms that politics cannot itself accomplish this transition. The book argues that energy transition requires insight from many scientific disciplines, advances in engineering, technical inventions, and innovations and social adaption. Claes suggests the role of politics is vital, not only by reducing greenhouse gases by itself, but to make others do things that do so.
The Role of Politics in the Combat Against Climate Change is an essential guide for students and academics in politics and public policy, environmental governance and politics, international relations and climate change. It will also be of use to policymakers and industry professionals in these fields working to combat climate change.
