Although there is now a strong consensus on the reality of the problem of climate change, the debate about what needs to be done to solve it has hardly begun. CIC's Climate Change and Global Public Goods project is designed to help the development of practical, workable responses to climate change - and in particular, to ensure that strategies for managing climate change are integrated effectively with solutions to other global public goods issues such as energy security, sound resource management and food security.
CIC's cross-issue expertise in global governance and international treaty-making enables it to bring a distinctive perspective to bear on these areas. The project's current research focuses on three major themes: what a comprehensive international agreement on climate change would look like, how the institutional infrastructure can better support such an agreement, and how international climate policy can be underpinned by more effective 'theory of influence' in public diplomacy.
