Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. In this interdisciplinary course, students from four universities around the world will explore together the complex scientific, societal, technological and policy challenges involved in Global Climate Change. The course will be organized around five main topics: 1) Science and Impacts of Climate Change, 2) Mitigation Technologies and Policy, 3) Adaptation, 4) Multilateral and Local Actions, and 5) Developing and Developed World Responsibilities. Each topic will be introduced by a prominent speaker, followed by a round-table discussion with experts from each country. Using videoconferencing technology, students from four universities located in the United States, Brazil, India, and China will work together to come up with original solutions for a challenging issue in Global Climate Change.

In this blog you will be able to follow the student’s work, comment on their projects, and watch videos of the prominent speakers’ presentations and round-table discussions.

This course is offered as a partnership between East Carolina University, the United States Department of State, Faculdade de Jaguariúna (Brazil), Shandong University (China), and University of Jammu (India).
