The Institute's Role in the Climate Change Consortium of Wales (C3W)

The DDMI is involved in the recently launched Climate Change Consortium of Wales, a multimillion pound initiative spanning four universities. The Institute is involved in the Human Dimensions of Climate Change research cluster, concentrating on climate governance and trust-building. This work will permit an expansion of the DDMI's developing research agenda on the international responses and solutions to climate change.

You can read more about the News, and about the C3W itself on the C3W homepage.

DDMI Climate Change Bibliography: DDMI Climate Change Intern Gareth Price-Thomas has collected a vast bibliography of research on climate goverance and the human dimension of climate change. The bibliography includes some 350 entries and is over 24 single-spaced pages long.

The bibliography has been organized alphabetically by author last name and by section. The sections are: Transnational governance; Continental, regional and EU governance; The role of the state and national case studies; Local and urban governance; Multilevel governance; Economic perspectives and carbon trading; Governance for sustainable development; Environmental governance; and Theoretical perspectives.

Climate Change Networking Event: Professor Nicholas J. Wheeler gave a presentation at the Climate Change Networking Event in May 2010 in which he discussed the potential contributions that the Institute can bring to the table in the C3W research program. He also noted that among the DDMI's immediate plans are to appoint a part-time post-doctoral researcher to work on coordinating and developing the DDMI's climate change work and to publish an online climate change research bibliography.
