This interdisciplinary course explores climate solutions through three complementary modules: science, political economy, and communication. Delivered in a modular format by three professors, students will first develop a scientific understanding of climate challenges and potential interventions, then examine the economic and political contexts that shape implementation, and finally learn strategies to effectively communicate solutions to diverse audiences. Alongside the modules, students will carry out a semester-long individual project focused on local, national, or regional solutions. Each project will integrate scientific, policy, and communication dimensions. Students will also collaborate with peers at other institutions for cross-institutional feedback and review, gaining both local insight and global perspective.
