The Climate Solutions Lab syllabus bank fosters and improves university-level courses on climate change in the social sciences.
At many universities, such courses are scarce — despite student demand on the world's most important global problem. For potential instructors, developing a new syllabus from scratch can be a barrier to teaching the course. So, we offer existing syllabi, for free, to anyone in the world. Different courses have different features, such as documentary films or class simulations.
We are extremely grateful to the instructors who have volunteered their syllabi for this purpose. More syllabi are welcome.
