This course overviews the basics of climate change and global warming issues by reviewing
internationally recognized reports and also looking into attempts of international frameworks.
Students will first obtain the scientific knowledge about global warming and climate change by
following United Nations' reports. Students will then collect information about the current status and
outlook of world energy supply and demand situations by looking into International Energy Agency's
reports. After these sessions, the international frameworks to address the challenges will be
discussed together with the history of international negotiations. Based on these discussions, the
course deals with the options to cope with climate change and global warming, focusing on
Renewable Energy. Finally students will be provided with the concept of sustainability and its interand
intra- generational meanings will be explained. The course is in principle in English and all
students are expected to actively participate in the discussions.
