3 Environmental Sustainability Summer Course Programs

Sustainable Agriculture Solutions - Summer Program will use an integrated academic perspective to provide students access to cutting-edge knowledge and technology related to agricultural practices for improving food and water use worldwide, particularly in the face of global desertification.

PPE: Climate Change, Politics, and Environmental Justice is a course that delves into the examination of the political challenges and economic ramifications associated with both the proactive measures and lack of action in addressing anthropogenic climate change, the accelerated warming of the Earth's temperature fueled by fossil fuel consumption and the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The course utilizes case studies at local, national, and international levels to explore these issues comprehensively.

We live in uncertain times. The favorable climate that humanity has known is rapidly changing, with far-reaching implications for human behavior and health. It’s increasingly critical to build preparedness for direct – and indirect – climate impacts and to welcome uncertainty into the design process. How do we explore and imagine possible pathways to increase our resilience and capacity to adapt? This workshop will explore these questions and help build an understanding of the trajectories, impacts, and influences of climate change.
