*Dear geped colleagues,As everyone prepares or revises their syllabi for the coming year, I want to flag an upcoming resource for teaching international climate change governance. Below is also a request for suggestions for publications or references to include in the video’s annotations. We’re also exploring ways to make the videos interactive - any ideas are more than welcome.The International Institute of Sustainable Development – Reporting Services (IISDRS, the publisher of the Earth Negotiations Bulletin) is producing a series of four, fifteen-minute videos called The Paris Knowledge Bridge: Unpacking International Climate Governance. The videos discuss: - the history of the UNFCCC;- the pillars of climate governance;- the science and economics; and,- the road to Paris & beyondThese videos are unique because representatives from states, civil society and UN agencies who are actively involved in creating global climate policies and politics explain the past, present and future of climate governance. We have interviews with 60 people, from Assistant Secretary General Janos Pasztor and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner, frontline delegates drafting the new agreement’s text and civil society working to influence policy. There are cameos by a well-known geped colleague...The videos will be available for free on the IISDRS website by August 15. I will send a note to geped when they are complete.IISD is using a unique video platform to host these video that allows for the videos to be annotated with links to academic books and articles as well as primary sources, such as policy statements, official documentation, and our own Earth Negotiations Bulletin coverage of the UNFCCC, IPCC, and other meetings. If you have suggestions for sources that you regularly use in your courses, or you find helpful to teach climate governance, please email me at [email protected] <[email protected]>. Please also feel free to reach out to discuss innovative ways to use this platform.Many thanks! I look forward to sharing the links to the videos with you all very soon!Best,Jen AllanPhD Candidate, Liu ScholarUniversity of British ColumbiaTeam Leader, Writer, “Showrunner”Earth Negotiations BulletinInternational Institute for Sustainable Development – Reporting Services*
