Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, , language: English, abstract: The first part of this essay deals with the general issue of climate change and the UN sustainable development goals. Having defined the general problem and impacts of climate change, the essay then turns into a discussion of climate crises more based on an enterprise level. The first part is about a critical assessment of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), in which recent literature of Banerjee (2007) and Levy & Spicer (2013) form the foundation. The second part deals with alternative model that are proposing to solve the current climate crisis in terms of political economy. For this purpose, recent contributions form Rockström et al. (2017) and Jackson (2009) were analysed.

In conclusion, it appears that the only way to stop the climate change is through the revolution of energy. The goal is a worldwide energy supply exclusively from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro power. This is primarily a task at governmental level, that is directed and enforced by UFCCC regulations. The climate change poses a major challenge to the global community that can, however, only be tackled together. Every individual can contribute to this and many little deeds together will make a difference. The essential point is that everyone is aware of this and is acting accordingly.
