Due to the situation with Covid-19, this course will be conducted entirely online. There will be live online short interactive lectures followed by group and classroom discussions based upon pre-assigned questions (on Tuesdays at 3:00pm). However, as not all PEAK students may be able to attend these, it will be possible to obtain all information and undertake all activities asynchronously i.e. there will be no penalty to students who cannot attend the online class. ※ In weeks 1&2, we will have trial Zoom meetings in preparation for the actual online classes, to start from week 3.

Due to the unusual situation as a result of the Covid-19 virus, the assessment for the course is currently under consideration and will be decided and communicated in due course. Timely completion and submission of the weekly assignments will form an important part of the assessment, so be advised to focus your attention on these from the outset.

No prior study of global (environmental) governance and science-policy interfaces is required, but a strong interest and a serious commitment to learning about global challenges and environmental issues from an interdisciplinary perspective is crucial. This class is conducted in the active learning style, and constructive participation by students is highly encouraged.
