Frequently presented as a historic last chance to set the world on
a course to prevent catastrophic climate change, the 21st
Conference of the Parties to the Climate convention (COP21) was a
global summit of exceptional proportions. Bringing together
negotiators, scientists, journalists and representatives of global
civil society, it also constituted a privileged vantage point for
the study of global environmental governance "in the making". This
volume offers readers an original account of the current state of
play in the field of global climate governance. Building upon a
collaborative research project on COP21 carried out by a
multidisciplinary team of twenty academics with recognised
experience in the field of environmental governance, the book takes
COP21 as an entry point to analyse ongoing transformations of
global climate politics, and to scrutinise the impact of climate
change on global debates more generally. The book has three key
objectives: To analyse global climate governance through a
combination of long-term analysis and on-sight observation; To
identify and analyse the key spaces of participation in the global
climate debate; To examine the "climatisation" of a series of
crosscutting themes, including development, energy, security and
migration. This book will be of great interest to students,
scholars and policymakers of climate politics and governance,
international relations and environmental studies.
