Resources for teaching global climate change negotiations

[ewan.kingston]

Hi GEP-Ed.

If any of you are teaching global climate change negotiations this year, this blog post I wrote might be helpful.

Part I contains a brief discussion of COP26 at Glasgow through a climate ethics lens. It links to several clips of negotiators/politicians making general normative claims in press conferences (harder to find than you might think!).

Part II is a description of using Climate Interactive's World Climate Simulation role-playing game in class. (Note the game doesn't faithfully model the actual process of UNFCCC negotiations, but is more like a truncated version of the whole Paris process of NDC submission and revision. They also have a similar game that is more focused on choosing different decarbonization pathways, which I don't discuss here).

Best wishes,
