The programme's teaching engages with the most important global thinkers and considers power structures and relations along the lines of race, gender, class and caste in global political ecology. The course offers a critical analysis of key issues including extractivism, water, forestry, climate, fisheries, agricultural production, biodiversity, and energy transition.Perhaps most importantly, you will analyse and assess proposed solutions to ecological crises, including loss and damage compensation, market-based solutions, degrowth, green new deals, and climate reparations.
