Climate Policy & Sustainable Development

Climate change is at our doorstep. It is a complex issue closely related to sustainable development, one of the principles for the UN’s climate convention. Today, the work aimed at decreasing emissions is interlinked with issues of adaptation, financial measures and forestry. Many different and newly emerging actors are actively participating in climate negotiations and climate-related work. At the CSPR, we study how the climate question is linked to other political areas such as development, trade, air traffic, land use and biodiversity.
