In this paper we study the topology of the space of harmonic maps from S2 to ℂℙ2.We prove that the subspaces consisting of maps of a fixed degree and energy are path connected. By a result of Guest and Ohnita it follows that the same is true for the space of harmonic maps to ℂℙn for n ≥ 2. We show that the components of maps to ℂℙ2 are complex manifolds.
