グローバル教養科目（Geoengineering: Humans, nature, tech, and climate controversy）
Geoengineering: Humans, nature, tech, and climate controversy
This course explores geoengineering as a potential climate solution. Students discover what geoengineering is in terms of science and climate action potential. Then, they consider the ethics and risks associated with various geoengineering techniques. Current perspectives from different groups or stakeholders are discussed, including scientists, governments, and indigenous groups.
Throughout the course, students revisit deeper questions: What is geoengineering? Should it be used or researched? Why is it controversial? What does geoengineering imply or reveal about the relationship between humans, nature, and technology?
The course is arranged to be accessible to students from any background or discipline. Students will engage with content covering a wide range of disciplines, think critically about that content, and communicate.

授業計画
The first part of the course will cover the climate crisis and an introduction to geoengineering, including different techniques and current research. Once a basic understanding is established, further topics will include governance and risk, climate justice and environmental ethics, perspectives and stakeholders, and finance and climate tech startups.
授業の方法
This course is an active learning, discussion-based course. Students will learn background knowledge and basic information as part of homework assignments. Then, they will process that knowledge and explore deeper meanings and issues in class through active learning such as group brainstorms and discussion. Students will synthesize content by applying it to a specific geoengineering project or topic.
成績評価方法
【Please check the grading scale that applies to this course. If the Course Code ends without “-P/F”, this is a course with a letter grade (A+, A, B, C, F). If the Course Code ends with “-P/F”, this is a Pass/Fail Course.】
The grade will be assessed as 50% learning, 50% application and synthesis. Learning includes homework assignments and participation in class activities. Application and synthesis includes a student's application of course themes and learning to a specific geoengineering project or topic.
