Living with the Consequences of Climate Change

Session Submission Type: In-Person Full Paper Panel

Session Description

Over the past decade, the threat of climate change has become far more immediate, a fact that is evidenced by record heatwaves, historic flooding, and unprecedented wildfires. A pressing question for scholars now is not only how nations can cooperate to mitigate climate change but how they can work together to anticipate and adapt to its consequences. Using survey experiments and observational data, each of the four papers on this panel seeks to shed light on the political dynamics involved in confronting the domestic and international impacts of climate change. In focusing not only on how to prevent climate change in the future but how nations can address it in the present, we seek to encourage more attention towards the pressing issues of climate change adaptation and remediation.
