ENVRES 240: Environmental Decision-Making and Risk Perception

Mobilizing successful conservation efforts to mitigate climate change and preserve both local and global ecosystems requires a new way of thinking. This course will investigate the barriers to pro-environmental behavior and the heuristics and biases that cloud our ability to respond effectively to environmental problems, using insights from behavioral economics, neuroeconomics, and environmental risk perception. Emphasis on interdisciplinary applications of recent research, and implications for environmental policymaking and persuasive messaging.

ENVRES 250: Environmental Governance (CEE 277C)

This interdisciplinary course presents an overview of environmental governance through an examination of how and why societies manage the relationships between human beings and the natural world.

Designed for graduate students and upper-level undergraduates with some exposure to both the natural sciences (ecology/environmental chemistry), and the social sciences (anthropology, economics, political science, or sociology). A pre-course incoming survey is required.
