About this course
This course investigates how cities confront climate change. We will interrogate urban strategies for increasing resiliency to extreme weather, from sea walls to cooling centers. We will also evaluate urban progress on mitigating greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Students will learn about the transition to renewable energy, investment in public transportation, and food waste reduction. We will pay special attention to the climate justice movement as well as climate change?s disproportionate impact on poor people and communities of color. Finally, the course will underscore youth leadership in the fight against climate change.
