This course is intended for students who are interested in applied work in development organizations or public institutions focused on nature, climate, energy and waste that are involved in catalyzing finance for climate change adaptation, particularly in the global south. The course has no specific prerequisites but students will find that courses in development economics, natural resources management, finance and law will be helpful. The class will entail in-class discussions where students will be expected to critically analyze course content, discuss and debate as well as present material.
