SEED's Field School on Environmental Change and Governance
INDEV 617 Spring/Summer Term 2021 - August 7 - 14, 2021
Course Overview: The rapid social and biophysical changes confronting coastal communities (e.g., with livelihoods, property rights physical and mental health, biodiversity, water and habitat quality, and climate variability) are in many respects unprecedented under pressures from COVID19. The resulting implications for coastal sustainability and development, i.e., the resilience and wellbeing of coastal communities and the coastal ecosystems upon which they depend, are profound. We urgently need to consider if and how coastal communities are prepared to respond and adapt to rapid social-ecological changes amidst the ongoing impacts from the pandemic, and to craft governance responses that foster deliberate transformations and help to build sustainable coastal social-ecological systems. (Please note course will be online Synchronous / Asynchronous)
