The ability of the EU to adapt to climate change will significantly affect its international relevance in the years to come. Consequently this special issue of Global Policy, guest edited by Helmut K. Anheier, Marie Julie Chenard and O. Arne Westad, contains contributions by academics and practitioners that analyse this ability from the perspectives of philosophy, history, sociology, economy, law and political science. It thereby seeks to forward the process of critical exchange and scrutiny between researchers and policy makers to develop effective and sustainable solutions as to climate change.
