The Climate Crisis: Root Causes and Remedies

Catalog description

Climate Disruption and, more fundamentally, the collapse of biological and cultural diversity caused by a very particular set of social, economic and political realities may represent a serious existential threat to humanity. This course draws on climate science, new ecological knowledge, traditional ecological knowledge, political-economy and systems thinking to understand the scale, pace and implications of the climate crisis; its root causes; and the advocacy, organizing and activism that is grappling with how we navigate it.
