1 unit(s)

This is all-hands-on-deck moment in human history. This course is designed to help students find careers that will contribute impactfully to the fight against climate change, whatever their skills, talents, or interests. We map the technological, economic, social, and political landscape of climate solutions, and the work needed to implement those solutions, across a wide variety of fields, in coming decades. We examine climate careers ranging from physics to ocean farming, computer science to public policy, finance to international development, biotechnology to urban planning. The class hosts a series of guest speakers who are professionals in a variety of fields, all working to address climate change. Each student undertakes a research project centering on a climate solution or climate career of their choice. Jeffrey Seidman.
