I examine the conditions for international collaboration on climate change after the Paris Agreement 2015. I am interested in the roles that the state has, or can have, in international climate policy, and what could shape the state’s role.

The Roles of the State in International Climate Policy

My research examines the conditions for international collaboration on climate change, with a focus on the roles of the state in an increasingly decentralized climate policy landscape. I am interested in how states portray climate change as a political problem and what modes of governance they propose to remedy this problem.
