Spring 2021
This theory and practice track examines theoretical frameworks for understanding climate change and concrete cases that shed light on the complexity of managing it.
In this, the practical component of the Climate in Crisis track, we explore several domestic energy and climate policy case studies, examining the competing roles played by various interest groups that influence legislative and regulatory outcomes, with a focus on differing organizational advocacy strategies. Once we have mastered organizational advocacy strategies, students bring those tools to bear on the most recent US Federal policy mandates and legislation. In 229T, students will complement this work with a deep dive into the nature of public goods and climate change policy, among other crucial considerations.
 
Restricted to UH students matriculating in Fall 2020 or later.
