https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/ENVS5236?type=COREThis course builds upon the physical science foundations established in Climate Change I, transitioning from understanding climate challenges to exploring solutions. Using the physical science foundations of a changing climate, we systematically explore the diversity of approaches to address climate change, from solar radiation modification through carbon dioxide removal, mitigation and adaptation to addressing remaining losses and damages. e will analyse the technological, behavioural, and policy-based interventions essential for addressing the climate crisis. The more extended focus of the course is on solutions that also generate societal and economic benefits and thus more likely to be adopted by policy-makers from a diversity of political and economic backgrounds. The course will also explore the scientific foundations of individual climate action and its effectiveness.Due to the rapidly developing field and the multiplicity of scientific and societal debates on the topic, the teaching approach relies heavily on discussions, dialogues, group work and other exercises, and a field trip. Topics for potential engagement range from the ethics of geoengineering to the role of technology and behaviour, honing students' abilities to critically evaluate real-world responses and create diverse pathways to net-zero, climate-resilient futures. What strategies can help us achieve ambitious global climate goals, and how can these strategies also improve well-being or meet other societal objectives such as affordability, competitiveness? Grounded in the latest IPCC reports and supplemented by recent scientific literature, it provides an in-depth review of the latest findings in the scientific, technical, economic and social science literature.Core aims:· Equip students with the scientific foundations for being able to critically assess the environmental and ethical relevance of various climate response strategies · Engage with ongoing debates related to mitigation and other response strategies.· Foster critical thinking on the scientific, technological, economic, social and ethical aspects of climate change solutions and responses.
