“Climate Change and Politics” was the first seminar in the “Climate Perspectives” seminar series. In this seminar Larry Lohmann, climate researcher at The Corner House, discussed the ways in which the politics of climate change have been framed in ways that accommodate Western points of view but largely neglects the ways in which climate issues affect the livelihoods of local communities.

“Climate Perspectives” is a series of five seminars taking place in February-March 2017 and addressing climate change from the perspectives of politics, development, law, economics, and individual action. The series has been organised in collaboration between Solar SOAS, the SOAS UNA society, the SOAS Green Group, and the SOAS Law, Environment and Development Centre (LEDC). It is sponsored by the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy (CISD) at SOAS.
