Notes
Dual listed with AMST 690 (02). Future generations will suffer irreparable damage from the climate crisis as a result of over-consumption of the Earth’s life-sources. This course will explore new ways of thinking to shift the economic mindset from reckless consumption to mindful restoration. It will also examine the environmental policy, law, and cultural infrastructure that will facilitate this mind-shift in the highly-vulnerable Asia-Pacific region.
The course will address the shift from Consumption Economics to Restoration Economics through various proactive projects including:
- The buildup toward a U.N. General Assembly petition to the International Court of Justice on legal duties of States and the legal rights of future generations in the face of the climate crisis
- Urban edible gardening
- The road sharing movement
