Abstract zum Vortrag:
Environmental mega conferences have become the format of choice in environmental governance. Conferences of the Parties (COPs) under the climate change and biodiversity conventions in particular attract global media attention and an ever-growing number of increasingly diverse actors, including scholars of global environmental politics. They are arenas for interstate negotiation, but also temporary interfaces that constitute and represent world society, and they focalise global struggles over just and sustainable futures. Collaborative event ethnography as a research methodology emerged as a response to these developments. The talk provides insights into the theory and practice of collaborative event ethnography, and presents research results from recent climate conferences in Glasgow (2021) and Dubai (2023).
