This course provides an interdisciplinary introduction to climate change and its implications for natural systems, human societies, and economic and policy decision-making. Drawing on expertise from across the University, and with support from Penn Climate, the course integrates perspectives from climate science, economics, finance, law, health, engineering, anthropology, political science, public policy, and communications to examine the causes of climate change, its current and projected impacts, and the range of responses at the individual, organizational, and societal levels. The course offers students from across the university a unique opportunity to acquire a broader perspective on climate change than their respective disciplines would. The course brings together climate experts who will present and engage in discussion with the students and the instructor, who will play an active role as a “host” of each lecture, and provide context and connections across the many disciplines, lead class exercises, give some of the lectures, and supervise student projects.
