<p>Debates about climate change and what to do about it occur a perilous political climate. It’s a problem that requires international cooperation. But elected politicians increasingly deny climate change, break global agreements, turn inward, and embrace authoritarianism. It’s a situation that both Eve Darian-Smith and Boris Schneider know well. Darian-Smith has written about the right-wing political responses to climate change, particularly to devastating fires, in the US, Brazil, and Australia. Schneider watches climate policy in Eurasia. What are some of the issues that intersect these regions? Are there shared ideological and policy actions? And what of resistance by climate groups hoping to stem the tide? These questions and more, are in this first episode of a six-part interview series “<a href="https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/crees/content/eurasian-environments-climate-justice-and-sustainability-global-context" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eurasian Environments: Climate Justice and Sustainability in Global Context</a>.” In each episode, experts on Eurasia are put in dialogue with those focusing on Europe, Africa, and Latin America. </p><br><p><strong>Guests:</strong></p><br><p>Eve Darian-Smith is a Distinguished Professor and Chair in the Department of Global Studies and International Studies at the University of California, Irvine.
