Climate Policy

Research projects at the Chair of International Relations and Sustainable Development investigate climate policies on different levels of the multi-level system, particularly on the European and international level. Concerning global climate policy, a project, that is embedded within the Cluster of Excellence for Politics and Religion at the WWU, looks at the influence of religious actors in this policy area. Another project, funded by the German Research Community (DFG), is concerned with time horizons in European climate and fishery policy, looking at the influence of discursive and institutional structures in reference to the EU's position on climate policies. Close research links at the chair can be drawn between energy policy and agrifood governance.
