Скачать или смотреть TISEDTalk: Climate Change and the War in Ukraine: Can Crises Stimulate Transformative Change?

Presented by Prof. Miranda Schreurs

Crises are times of painful struggle but also open the opportunity for deep, transformative change. This talk will examine the different ways Europe, North America, and China are responding to the war in Ukraine and to the climate crisis. It will explore the changes brought about by thirty years of international climate negotiations, the shock of a major war on Europe’s economies, and consider what the challenges are that still lie ahead.

Miranda Schreurs' main research areas are in international and comparative climate policy, environmental politics, and low-carbon energy transitions. She is involved in projects examining the energy transitions in Germany and Japan; climate policies of Europe, the United States, and China; and the politics of high-level radioactive waste disposal. In 2011 Schreurs was appointed by Chancellor Angela Merkel as a member of the German Ethics Commission on a Safe Energy Supply. From 2008 until 2016 she served as member of the German Advisory Council on the Environment and is vice chair of the European Environment and Sustainable Development Advisory Councils.
