In small teams, you will analyse and document examples of the climate impact in their home region, and research environmental and sustainability policies at your university.

Negotiating Climate Change in the Context of Absolute CO2 Limits and Time frames – Aarhus University August 7^th to 11^th

The summer school establishes an interdisciplinary approach to understand, examine and address the negotiations that determine current and future climate change and actions to handle the challenges of climate changes, in a perspective where societal actions are linked to the bio-physical reality of climate change. Negotiations and their outcome are vital for climate actions and for understanding climate change causes, impacts and solutions. Climate negotiations refer to the difficult dilemmas and decisions that are negotiated in policies and politics at different levels where competing interests are balanced, as well as in citizens’ everyday choices and behaviour, in business development, and in innovation, choice and application of technologies.
