About this Course

Harmful emissions, the degradation of the earth’s resources and global warming have loomed large for decades. With the negotiation and ongoing ratification of the sweeping Paris Agreement, commitments to reducing the effects of climate change abound. But how do we turn those commitments into action?

This course is for: Graduate students and advanced undergraduate students interested in the key concepts and practices of this growing field. Climate change activists who want a concise overview of the current science and emerging solutions. Sustainable development practitioners – as well as private-sector actors, such as those who work in corporate sustainability and responsibility or renewable energy – who need to understand how climate change solutions are being implemented and made successful.
