Inhalt | Increasingly so, global governance sets targets and priorities, re-scopes knowledge, influences policies, and therefore impacts billions of people and the environment they live in across the world. Powerful instruments such as the Sustainable Development Goals set the standards for international donors, industries, governments, development agencies decisions and actions. Little is known however on the mechanisms explaining the development of these instruments, the flow of information from global to local levels, and the way stakeholders respond to global governance. Within the constellation of actors influencing both the production of global governance agendas, and their implementation locally through “participatory” approaches, this planetary top-down approach is unprecedented. This course will deconstruct these processes holistically in two ways. First, by examining the content of two main reports guiding the “climate change” and “biodiversity” global agendas, established respectively by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). Second, the course will reflect on how these agendas impact smallholders in remote rural areas with specific field observations collected from the Hindu Kush Himalaya region of Northern Pakistan and the Gobi desert. Within these region, the course will take an environmental perspective of these regions by exploring “Sustainable Land Management” and “Land Use Change” local geographies, as well as land production as a function of farming practices. The integration of Clean Development Mechanisms and REDD+, two climate change mitigation instruments, will be assessed to see how it can impact land management decision. Students will acquire cutting-edge “multi-scales“ and “multi-stakeholders” analytical skills while immersing themselves in the analyses of topical global governance themes. In addition, this course objective is designed to be interdisciplinary mixing disciplines such as economic risk modelling in agriculture, climate data analysis, soil physics, and qualitative analysis of global governance. |
