Climate change in geography
Climate change and environmental impact -The physical and ecological impacts of climate change on landscapes, ecosystems, and the natural environment.
Changes in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events
Glacial and polar ice melt, sea-level rise
Biodiversity loss and ecosystem shifts
Impact on natural resources (e.g., water, forests)
Theoretical debates: Earth system science, resilience theory, ecological thresholds.
Climate Justice and Equity -The social, economic, and political dimensions of climate change, particularly in terms of fairness and equity.
Disproportionate impacts on marginalized communities (Global South, Indigenous groups)
Climate migration and displacement
Climate adaptation funding and global governance
Intersectionality and climate policy
Theoretical debates: Environmental justice, postcolonial theory, global inequality, human rights, social vulnerability.
Human-environment interactions - How human activities contribute to climate change and are affected by its impacts.
Anthropogenic emissions (carbon, methane)
Land use changes (e.g., deforestation, urbanization)
Climate adaptation and mitigation strategies
Vulnerability and resilience in human communities
Theoretical debates: Political ecology, sustainable development, environmental justice, human-environment systems.
Political economy of climate change -The economic and political forces that shape climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.
Carbon markets, emissions trading, and the green economy
Climate change and neoliberalism
Policy and governance (national and international level)
Fossil fuel industries and climate denial
Theoretical debates: Marxist geography, political economy, neoliberalism, ecological economics.
Climate change and urbanisation - The intersection of climate change with urbanization, especially in relation to cities and urban environments.
Urban heat islands and climate impacts on cities
Climate adaptation in urban planning and infrastructure
Climate resilience in urban settings
Urban food systems and climate change
Theoretical Debates: Urban geography, resilience theory, sustainable cities, planning theory.
Geographies of climate change adaptation and mitigation - The spatial and social strategies used to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Climate adaptation planning (e.g., flood defenses, disaster risk reduction)
Renewable energy systems and energy transitions
Carbon sequestration, reforestation, and geoengineering
Climate policy, governance, and local responses
Theoretical debates: Sustainability, resilience theory, policy geography, governance.
Climate Change and Development - The relationship between climate change and global development processes, especially in vulnerable regions.
Climate-induced poverty and inequality
Climate adaptation strategies in developing countries
Sustainable development and green growth
Disaster risk reduction and climate resilience
Theoretical debates:Development geography, postcolonialism, sustainable development, vulnerability theory.
Climate Change and Risk
Climate risk assessment and vulnerability mapping
Disaster risk reduction strategies (e.g., flood, drought, heatwaves)
Perceptions of climate risk and decision-making
Insurance and financial mechanisms for climate risk
Theoretical Debates: Risk theory, vulnerability, uncertainty, and complexity.
Climate Change and the Media - The role of media and communication in shaping public perceptions and policy on climate change.
Climate change discourse and framing
Climate skepticism and denial in the media
Role of social media in climate activism
Media representations of climate change impacts
Theoretical Debates: Media studies, discourse analysis, environmental communication, critical theory.
Geographies of Climate Policy
International climate agreements (e.g., Paris Agreement)
National and local climate policies
Role of non-state actors (NGOs, corporations, etc.) in shaping policy
Policy transfer and diffusion of best practices
Theoretical debates: Policy geography, governance, multilevel governance, international relations.
