This volume acknowledges the interdisciplinary nature of the climate crisis and aims to transcend the traditional boundaries of political science. By incorporating insights from various disciplines, the book seeks to provide a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the challenges at hand.

The interconnectedness of global existential crises, such as climate change, require a multifaceted approach, involving scientific, social, economic, ethical, and technological dimensions. By embracing interdisciplinarity, the book seeks to leverage diverse perspectives and expertise to explore innovative answers and policy approaches. Interdisciplinarity allows for the integration of knowledge from different fields, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of “super wicked” problems such as climate change (Lazarus, 2008). It suggests that researchers and practitioners should consider a broader range of factors than they usually do, including scientific data, societal impacts, political dynamics, cultural values, and technological possibilities. This broader perspective enhances the capacity to develop effective governance strategies and policies that account for the interconnectedness of various angles of the problem. The goal is to use a holistic approach departing from conventional methods of governance as the complex and interrelated events, phenomena, and resulting problems defy the limitations of disciplinary boundaries. To make progress and effectively address these challenges, political scientists must tap into and seek aid from the larger breadth of human knowledge while exploring uncharted territories and envisioning novel scenarios and …
