GOVT-676 Politics of Managing Climate Change (3)

The climate crisis is a wicked problem, complicated and extensive. This course grounds students in macro-level issues (raised by international relations, economics, and domestic politics), as well as micro-level ones (what businesses can do to address this problem; what role individuals have as citizens and consumers; what roles the public and private sectors have in finding solutions). Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the general problem and the broad efforts to solve it, and an awareness of climate problem-solving on the ground. Crosslist: GOVT-476. Usually Offered: fall. Note: Three courses in U.S. and/or comparative politics recommended. Background in public policy, economics, and political economy recommended.
