Welcome to GlocalClim: Legitimate and Fair Climate Adaptation

How, when and why does integrated governance of climate risks at the global level promote legitimate and just climate change adaptation? Integrated governance refers to the inclusion of climate risks into other policy areas, such as conflict or health, across domestic and global levels. These issues are at the heart of GlocalClim – a five-year research project at the Department of Economic History and International Relations at Stockholm University (2019-2023).
