Climate Justice: Vulnerability, Resilience, and Adaptation

О курсе

This course examines how communities experience, resist, and adapt to climate injustice. Students explore how racial injustice, environmental harm, incarceration, labor exploitation, and grassroots movements are deeply connected to the climate crisis. The course then introduces community resilience and climate adaptation, focusing on how communities prepare for and respond to climate impacts such as wildfires, flooding, hurricanes, and extreme heat. Through the example of coastal adaptation, students also examine how strategies like seawalls, managed retreat, and climate infrastructure can either reduce vulnerability or reproduce displacement and inequality. Overall, this course emphasizes that just adaptation must be community-driven, historically informed, and rooted in equity rather than purely technical solutions.
