Global Climate Change (Economics, Science and Policy): Course Description
The free 'Global Climate Change (Economics, Science and Policy)' course discusses global climate change as a key concern of the 21st century addressed by academic and civil institutions around the world. This course combines scientific data with the ecological and economic impacts caused by climate change. Professors Henry Jacoby, Ronald Prinn and Mort Webster begin this OpenCourseWare by outlining political and analytical organizations while reviewing the mathematics of climate analysis. Later, students will delve into climate-specific topics, such as atmospheric and oceanic dynamics. The economics of greenhouse gas emissions control and institution-specific topics, such as international climate negotiations are also covered.
This OpenCourseWare includes lecture notes, readings and problem set homework assignments. A policy exercise in the course is aimed at replicating an international discussion on the development of a global greenhouse gas stabilization policy.
Lecture notes, readings and assignments are the main materials for this course and are offered free online. Students interested in this course should visit the global climate change course home page.
