The most impactful climate solutions extend beyond the singular spheres of public policy, market developments, and technological advances. Independently, each sphere plays an important role in advancing climate action; however, autonomous efforts in a single sphere can only influence a finite portion of factors. Likewise, the cumulative force of singular, sector-specific climate action efforts has the potential to be more powerful if they are connected and coordinated.

Moreover, impactful is just climate solutions. require us to integrate deep interdisciplinary understanding, behavioral-based solutions and apply an equity-centric implementation strategy. Ultimately, we must construct ways in which disparate interests work in concert to change the way our society is in relationship with the earth.

This course briefly reviews the timeline of policy development, market development, and technological
advances made over generations that created the current climate crisis. Students will explore and
evaluate value systems underpinning climate action using the theory of change modeling. Students will
then choose one sector of influence and devise a comprehensive strategy to move it toward
decarbonization.
