How you learn

Climate Change: Economics and Governance is an intensive five-day programme. You will join a small cohort of senior leaders from a broad diversity of roles, organisations, sectors and geographies at the LSE campus in the heart of London.

Your learning experience draws on a fully integrative, multi-disciplinary perspective on climate change leveraging LSE interdisciplinary expertise. Explore the scientific evidence, key controversies in this space, and the critical dimensions of economics and governance, including pricing carbon, market failure and imperfect shared resource systems such as the tragedy of the commons.

Your learning is led by renowned LSE faculty and guest experts. It is enriched by dynamic group discussion with peers and faculty, and experiential dynamics such as simulations and role play.
