Anti-requisite(s): 54006 Climate Justice and Climate Policy
Description
Climate change transforms society in profound ways. This subject focuses on social and political debates about climate change. It addresses the changing relationships between social justice and ecological sustainability, drawing on international experience. It especially focuses on issues of land justice and climate justice, drawing on Indigenous contexts and perspectives. Students debate the 'big picture', addressing impacts, discussing responses, investigating solutions. They evaluate a specific policy measure, either proposed or implemented, e.g. renewable energy transitions, 'resilient' urban planning, or climate geoengineering. Building on this, they develop 'blue sky' proposals, and test them in real-world contexts, mapping-out scenarios for implementation. In the process, students gain skills in policy evaluation and development, and in scenario-testing and planning.
