Recognizing the urgency of the global climate crisis, students will cultivate their voice and sharpen their understanding of international climate policy, concepts, and institutions to create lasting impact in their communities and world. Deep dives into the science, economics, and legal and societal norms surrounding climate change will provide a foundation for adapting and working toward aspirational goals at all levels of engagement, from the University's Climate Action Plan to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Drawing on Youth Service America's "ASAP" model for taking action (Awareness, Service, Advocacy, Philanthropy), students will then undertake hands-on awareness and advocacy projects that expand their capacity as proactive citizens and change agents in building a more just, sustainable, climate-resilient society.
