Discussion (1L): In Search of Climate Justice

Catalog description

Our rapidly changing climate demands that we act quickly and decisively to decarbonize the economy, protect remaining functional ecosystems, and promote human health and well-being. Faced with both exigency and complexity, how do we create a "just transition" that does not merely replicate -- or worse yet, exacerbate -- the inequities of the past? In this discussion seminar, we will examine a few examples of the tensions, challenges, and opportunities that society faces as it navigates the path forward to a more sustainable future. Elements used in grading: Full attendance, reading of assigned materials, and active participation.
