Special Topics in Climate Change

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course is designed to help students build inner resilience skills through mindfulness, compassion, nature-based meditations, and emotional regulation, while also developing climate literacy and effective climate advocacy skills. Students will engage with global thought leaders through video lectures, learn and apply resilience practices, and collaborate on community- or campus-based group climate action projects. Themes of ethics, justice, human and ecosystem rights, right conduct, and working to facilitate the creation of societal structures supporting personal, community, and planetary ecosystem health are woven throughout the course. How we conduct our lives as individuals matters for the future of humanity.
