GOVT 2294
Politics of Climate Change

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024. Courses of Study 2023-2024 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

Climate change is, arguably, the global challenge of the 21st century. Weather already has become more intense, storms stronger, and sea levels higher, and these trends will continue. To mitigate climate change requires reducing carbon emissions from energy, transportation, agriculture, and industry. The climate crisis is less technical and more political than commonly understood. Every aspect of life will be affected: what we eat, where we live, how we move around, and the ways we earn a living. How do we understand the politics of climate change? This lecture course endeavors to offer some answers and insights from social science about the forces shaping the collective response to climate change. To be clear, this course focuses on the politics of climate change, not the underlying physical science.  

When Offered Fall.
