Description
Climate change is the defining challenge of our time—and policy is a key tool in addressing it. Climate Change and Global Environmental Policy offers an in-depth examination of the scientific, economic, and political dimensions of climate change and how international cooperation is shaping the response. You’ll start with the basics of climate science, including greenhouse gas emissions, feedback loops, and climate modeling. Then you’ll dive into major international agreements like the Paris Agreement, Kyoto Protocol, and UNFCCC, and explore how countries develop and implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The course also examines the roles of key players—governments, NGOs, corporations, and citizens—in advancing environmental protection. Topics include carbon pricing, climate finance, adaptation strategies, climate justice, and the transition to low-carbon economies. You’ll analyze real-world case studies and learn how policy is crafted, negotiated, and enforced across borders. Whether you’re preparing for a career in environmental policy, activism, or corporate sustainability, this course gives you the knowledge to understand—and influence—the global climate agenda.
