The response to the climate challenge spans grassroots movements to coordinated <br />international policy. As policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change continue to take shape, <br />what do decision makers, advocates, and analysts need to know to take effective action? This <br />course will investigate climate change policy from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, <br />emphasizing economic logic, ethical principles, and institutional feasibility. It will focus on the <br />energy transition, particularly in MN, as a way to provide context and action to the course. <br />Page 43 of 185 <br />
