Dear gep-ed colleagues, Next semester, I’m going to be teaching a new 3rd-year level undergraduate course on Climate Change Politics. I’m planning to devote about two weeks specifically to the UNFCCC process, followed by an in-class negotiation simulation. In the two weeks, I’m hoping to cover (“only”) the basics of: the UNFCCC, the COP process, its main achievements, and some of the major critiques/obstacles/weaknesses.
This is not really my wheelhouse, and I’m hoping that folks on this list, particularly those who have taught similar courses, can provide suggested readings (including podcasts, etc.) that cover these topics in a way that is accessible and engaging for ~3rd year undergrads (mostly a mix of politics and enviro studies majors, but the course has no prerequisites so I really can’t assume much background knowledge). I’ve been working my way through the very useful Climate Syllabus Bank, but there is a lot of material there (and elsewhere), and one of the limitations is that syllabi don’t indicate which readings were/weren’t particularly effective. In keeping with the customary practice on this list, please reply directly to me ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), and I’ll compile the responses and send that out to the list in a couple of weeks.
