Environmental problems such as climate change are global in nature —and solving them requires global governance through international cooperation, including in the energy sector. ln this course, students learn about the global governance of sustainable energy. Focusing on wind, solar, nuclear power, energy access, and grid systems, the course explores the challenges of expanding access to sustainable energy, introduces the most important global institutions that govern sustainable energy, and offers students an opportunity to conduct policy analysis. Besides formal international organizations, the course explores how non-state, transnational actors contribute to global governance in this policy area.
