UCL Uncovering PoliticsPower, Negotiation, The COPs - And Loss And DamageClimate change is exerting increasingly profound effects on societies across the globe. Policy responses are often described as resting on three pillars. The first involves addressing the causes of climate change by reducing carbon emissions and improving carbon capture. Experts tend to refer to this as mitigation. The second concerns adapting to the climate impacts that are already unavoidable in order to reduce the harm they cause, for example by raising sea walls or improving the heat resilience of homes. This is known as adaptation. The third pillar deals with the harms that nevertheless arise, asking who s...

New Books in Political ScienceLisa Vanhala, "Governing the End: The Making of Climate Change Loss and Damage" (U Chicago Press, 2025)A searing account of how the international community is trying—and failing—to address the worst effects of climate change and the differential burdens borne by rich and poor countries.
Climate change is increasingly accepted as a global emergency creating irrevocable losses for the planet. Yet, each country experiences these losses differently, and reaching even inadequate political agreements is fraught with contestation.

A Professor in Political Science here at UCL and an expert on the politics of climate change. Lisa recently gave her inaugural lecture: Governing the End: The Making of Climate Change Loss and Damage, offering a fascinating insight into the way that UN meetings and negotiations over climate change get framed, and how they proceed, informed by the ideas of Goffman and Bourdieu. She also examines the ways that civil society organisations engage with the law to shape policy and social change both around climate change and around equality and h...

We’ll be covering Ukraine, climate change, the health of democracy in the UK, and much more. The podcast has been on its summer break over the last few months, but politics certainly hasn’t stopped. The war in Ukraine has rumbled on. The global energy crisis, partly a result of the war, has forced policymakers to rethink how energy markets work. The energy crisis intersects with efforts to tackle the climate crisis, which...

The war in Ukraine has rumbled on. The global energy crisis, partly a result of the war, has forced policymakers to rethink how energy markets work. The energy crisis intersects with efforts to tackle the climate crisis, which have in some ways intensified in the wake of last year’s COP26 meeting in Glasgow. In the UK, Boris Johnson was forced out as Prime Minster and replaced by Liz Truss. And just days after Truss entered office, the death of Quee...

2022-06-0829 minUCL Uncovering PoliticsCOP26 in Review: Reflections on GlasgowToday we’re taking a retrospective look at the outcomes of the COP-26 conference that was held in Glasgow earlier this month. COP – or Conference of the Parties – is the annual UN climate change conference. A key aim of the conference was to ‘keep 1.5°C alive’ – but was enough progress made on cutting emissions to reach this goal? Have rich countries stepped up to the plate by agreeing to pay for loss and damage in poorer countries? And, are we making progress fast enough?We have three leading experts on these matters here at UCL, and they join me now.

Planet Pod's PodcastWho Pays the Price?Global heating resulting from climate change is likely to have the greatest impact on those who can do least about it. In this episode Amanda talks with Professor Lisa Vanhala, Professor of Political Science at UCL and Michael Watson, Partner at law firm Pinsent Masons, about the non-economic loss and damage associated with unchecked climate change. We ask where does responsibility lie – in short, who pays the price? What is the role of legislation and non-state actors (including law firms) and will this COP help provide a safe space for meaningful collaboration and constructive discussion?...
