Matthew Paterson is a Professor of International Politics at the University of Manchester and Research Director of the Sustainable Consumption Institute. His work focuses on the political economy of global environmental change, particularly climate change governance.
His research explores how political systems and economic structures influence responses to environmental challenges. Key areas include transnational climate governance frameworks, the role of political institutions in shaping climate policies, and the cultural dimensions of sustainability.
Recent publications analyze the interplay between scientific knowledge production and policy-making in climate governance. He has contributed to IPCC-related studies and critiques of mitigation strategies' symbolic power dynamics.
Paterson's work bridges political science and environmental studies, emphasizing the centrality of political dynamics in addressing climate change despite institutional barriers to confronting governance failures.
