Course description

This course deals with basic science related to climate change and impact of climate change on environment, society and economy. It also provides the possible solutions to combat environmental impact of climate change on Earth by introducing and implementing various technologies as adaptation and mitigation measures.

Objectives

  • The course will apply basic principles of physics and chemistry to analyze and quantify theenvironmental impacts of energy use.
  • Environmental impacts and climate change will be studied at three levels: local, regional, and global.
  • Technological options for adaptations and mitigation will be studied to combat the global warming.
  • Global and national policy on climate change will be discussed to reduce the greenhouse gas effect on planet.
