BAIS 310 - Global Environmental Politics

Unit(s): 4

In this course we consider the role that international and domestic politics play in the ongoing debates about the environment. The goal of this course is to facilitate your understanding of the key issues in global environmental politics, the political and social mechanisms in place to address these issues, and the global-local connection and how this affects policy implementation. We examine these issues through topics such as climate change, sustainable development and the intersection of human rights and the environment, all with an emphasis on environmental justice. Classroom discussion and activities are enhanced by a community engaged learning project.
