This course introduces a wide range of major policy issues pertaining to local, national and global environmental sustainability through case discussions and analyses in a variety of socio-economic and institutional contexts. Students then engage in self-proposed original research of a real-world policy problem through a structured and guided process, resulting in a substantial term paper that informs policy making. The goal is to improve students’ understanding of multidisciplinary policy issues in sustainable development and problem-solving skills to identify, critically think, and communicate real-world policy problems. <a href="http://bit.ly/1bebp5s" target="_blank">Click here to see evaluations, syllabi, and faculty bios</a>
