Abstract: 
Political science draws on different theoretical approaches that can be
used for explaining the outcome of climate negotiations. These
approaches take into account that interests shape the preferences of
states, of the economy and of civil society. In its analysis of climate
change as an issue of global governance, political science must be part
of an approach which combines the contributions of the different
disciplines to the subject. Yet, whilst there is evidence of a higher
education curriculum on climate change taking on board the importance of
political processes within such an interdisciplinary endeavour, more
needs to be done before it is fully embedded alongside natural science
in the study of the subject. In this regard, two possible ways forward
are explored: collaborative curriculum production as exemplified by the
LECHe project and simulation games.
