We stand at a pivotal time in the effort to confront climate change. This class will provide a solid background on the law and policy of climate change. The class covers federal and state regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, international efforts to reduce emissions, adaptation to extreme weather events and sea level rise; and geo-engineering. Students will emerge with a broad understanding of the complex legal framework applying to the climate issue. The grade will be based on short papers on individual topics chosen by the students. Background on environmental issues is helpful but the course is also aimed at students who simply have a keen interest in the subject.
