The Environmental Policy Process

Course Description

Students will examine the environmental policy making process from different points of view, whether as an environmental scientist or citizen activist, at different government levels (city, state or federal), and across different media (air, water, waste). Students will gain a practical understanding of existing environmental policies as well as the process by which new environmental policies are proposed, designed, implemented and evaluated. An understanding of the process helps students to identify opportunities to advocate for environmental change.
