Foundational level

Climate change governance is no longer confined to environmental treaties. It is now an intricate web of laws, finance, and international cooperation. This pathway explores how governance, legislation, and litigation shape the world’s response to climate change and how these frameworks determine who pays, who acts, and who benefits. From the Paris Agreement and COP negotiations to litigation that holds governments and corporations accountable, you will examine how international, national, and local systems of governance connect to drive collective climate action. With real-world examples from Spain to the UK, and developments such as the Loss and Damage Fund at COP28, the pathway looks at the delicate balance between ambition, equity, and delivery that defines global climate policy today.

In this pathway

Understand how governance, legislation, and litigation shape the global response to climate change

Outline the roles and interactions of key actors in multilevel climate governance

Explore major frameworks and agreements including the Paris Agreement, SDGs, and ISSB standards
