Overview

This course is designed for students who are concerned about the impacts of climate change and how we respond to it, but are more drawn to questions of politics, activism and human rights than natural science.Climate justice focuses on the social equity, historical responsibility and economic transformations involved in climate change. It is of critical importance to policymakers, NGOs, activists and corporations alike.

The course draws on Sussex’s world-leading expertise in development, sustainability and social justice. By studying at Sussex, you’ll:

learn about the colonial roots of environmental justice conflicts
explore the proposed responses to the climate crisis
work with other students who are passionate about understanding climate change, to discuss, design and propose approaches to address it
explore creative approaches to communicating climate change, such as podcasting, blogging and campaign design
be inspired by meeting diverse organisations and changemakers from beyond the university who are involved in climate change action.

Our BA is interactive and solutions-focused. You’ll learn both inside and outside of the classroom. You’ll have field trip opportunities, visit local rewilding projects and attend lessons in our campus Forest Food Garden.Studying this course will allow you to take action around climate change, rather than just study it, and you’ll graduate ready to change the world.
