The purpose of this course was to understand why the impasse in the negotiations and implementation of climate change measures occurred and explored the various options that had been proposed to escape from this situation. All faculty members were among the roughly 2,000 scientists and policy experts from around the world who had made contributions to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, the former vice president of the US.

Course poster (Download)

Drawing on interdisciplinary academic perspectives and lessons learned from practice, the course represented one of the few targeted, applied and yet conceptually grounded efforts currently available internationally for the analysis of corruption and anti-corruption, straddling law, economic, public administration, public sector ethics, as well as politics, statistical and ethnographic approaches. The division into joint morning sessions and afternoon policy labs guaranteed in-depth coverage as well as overview discussions. The course was organized jointly with the NGO Tiri – Making Integrity Work.
