Discussion (1L): In Search of Climate Justice (241P): Our rapidly changing climate demands that we act quickly and decisively to decarbonize the economy, protect remaining functional ecosystems, and promote human health and well-being. Faced with both exigency and complexity, 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 examine a few examples of the tensions, challenges, and opportunities that society faces as it navigates the path forward to a more sustainable future. Elements used in grading: Full attendance, reading of assigned materials, and active participation.
