Global climate justice and the international regime

I-SEE Webinar

‘Global climate justice and the international regime’

Professor Chukwumerije Okereke, Professor in Global Governance and Public Policy, School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol

Contestations over justice and equity in the climate regime provide the most striking evidence of the quest by relevant actors to ensure that institutions for global environmental governance and public policy are based on widely shared ethical standards of responsibility and fairness. With a focus on key themes and debates, I will explore how the interaction between justice and politics has shaped the international climate regime. I will argue that in the last 10 years, there has been an erosion of justice and equity in the climate regime ways that disadvantage the global South.
