Description:
Why can't we solve the climate crisis? In this seminar about global environmental politics, students cultivate research, writing, and speaking skills for public policy, international affairs, and environmental studies careers. We review how the legacies of colonialism and neoliberalism have affected global poverty and environmental degradation; how artificial intelligence is shaping environmental governance; and how actors from corporations to Indigenous peoples influence state to-state negotiations. Students translate scientific concepts for policymakers, advocate in "real world" assignments like policy memos, elevator pitches, and UN debates, and meet policy-makers to learn about careers.
