Discussion (1L): In Search of Climate Justice (241P): Our rapidly changing climate demands that we act quickly and robustly to decarbonize the economy. But how do we create a just transition that does not merely replicate, or worse yet exacerbate, the inequities of the past? In this discussion seminar, we will explore the tensions, challenges, and opportunities that society faces as it navigates the path forward to an ecologically sustainable future. We will discuss some of the most pressing climate justice controversies at the local, state, national, and international level. Class meets 6:00 PM-8:00 PM on Sept. 21, Oct. 5, Oct. 17, Nov. 2. Elements used in grading: Full attendance, reading of assigned materials, and active participation.
