Arctic Climate and Policy: Winter Session in Bodø

Catalog description

The Arctic is a region where rapid climate and social changes will have important and far-reaching consequences. Current issues include access to mineral and hydrocarbon resources, possibilities for new maritime routes, cross-border cooperation, governance and self-determination, sustainability of fisheries, opportunities for Arctic tourism, and support of indigenous communities. Students will travel to Bodø, Norway, to participate in this class together with undergraduates from Babson College and Nord University Business School. Students will work together across disciplines and cultures to learn how to apply knowledge to map relevant policy issues more creatively, effectively, and responsibly.
