Climate change is the most pressing environmental issue of this generation and most likely generations to come, yet current policies are recognized as inadequate to effectively achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement. This masters level course discusses the use of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and carbon capture sequestration (CCS) technologies and processes, emissions reductions initiatives necessary for meeting Paris goals. The course will explore both national and international governance and regulatory considerations. It will also discuss business and policy strategies to faciliate the large-scale deployement of these technologies. Students will be assessed on group presentations, a group blog post, and class participation.
