Minor Climate Change and Inequality

This interdisciplinary university minor dives into the pressing questions of climate change and global inequality, helping you understand the social, legal, political, and philosophical dimensions of climate change and inequality. You’ll explore how different regions—from the Pacific to Africa and Europe—experience and respond to climate challenges.

What will you do?

• Learn how inequality is embedded in global climate policies and responses
• Examine real-world cases where climate change exacerbates injustice
• Work in interdisciplinary teams to develop practical solutions to climate-related challenges

This minor is for students who want to think critically, challenge their own assumptions, and take action. Are you ready to be part of the solution?

In this minor, you will analyse the causes and consequences of climate inequality using diverse interdisciplinary theories and research methods. You will develop your own interdisciplinary proposals to tackle climate inequality and injustice, focusing on practical, action-driven solutions; and you will be able to apply your knowledge to show how different types of inequality are deeply intertwined with climate change—and why that matters for real-world solutions. The minor is ‘housed’ in the Faculty of Religion, Culture and Society, but the multidisciplinary teaching team consists of dedicated lecturers from the faculties of Science and Engineering, Arts, Religion, Culture and Society, Law, and Spatial Sciences.
