Description

This fun and engaging minicourse enables students to explore pressing issues related to climate and sustainability, learn the tools to identify and define problems, and design creative solutions. 

Each week an expert who has dedicated a substantial portion of their career working in climate and sustainability will join us for the first hour of class to share their story, have an open discussion about the most pressing challenges they face in their work, and communicate lessons they’ve learned.

The second hour of class will involve engaging discussion based activities where you will work with your peers, challenge your own assumptions, and broaden your perspective. These discussion activities will be led by student course facilitators, ranging from small groups to full class discussion.
