Risk, Climate Security, and Community Engagement

Catalog description

Climate change and other rapid environmental changes create risk to communities, infrastructure, and human security; managing these climate-related risks requires understanding of the community, its risk perception, and collaborative communication and management planning. Students characterize risk to communities from climate change and explore risk perception theory and methods to manage threats to human security. Students discuss concepts of justice and equity in risks to human security, risk management, and communication. Students explore these particular climate change and environmental challenges through the multidimensional and interdisciplinary lens of human security.
