ENVR-1038-60-- Climate Change, Adaptations & Innovations
To mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis, we must minimize the human activities driving climate change and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Communities must also implement resilient strategies to adapt to the changing climate and impacts already being felt around the world. Covering emerging, innovative solutions in energy, food, agriculture, land use, industry, transportation, buildings, carbon sinks, health, and educations, this course invites students to explore creative responses to address climate change and its impacts locally and beyond. All of humanity is predicated to be impacted by climate change, albeit not equally. In this course, students will be encouraged to explore why climate change disproportionally impact vulnerable communities and how multiple intersecting identity factors influence how individuals are affected by the changing climate. While we have faced, and will continue to face, many challenges to mitigate and adapt to the changing climate, our successes will not only benefit the planet, but our society and economy as well.
