"Case Studies in Global Environmental Policy
Realities and Controversies -- A Humanist
Approach"
Instructor: Frederic March, Environmental
Policy & Planning Consultant; HSNM Past President
The United Nations leads the world's governing
bodies in developing environmental policies that
address threats to the Earth's atmosphere,
waters, lands, plants, animals and people -
threats that affect the ability of the Earth's
resources to meet civilization's growing
demands for water, food, fuel, fiber and vital
minerals. The course presents highly visual case
studies, including video clips that address these
concerns. Students will discuss the goals and
strategies of policies in response to issues raised
in each case study. My purpose is to help
citizens critically assess the controversial
scientific and political issues in policy making,
and to separate fact from fiction in the media.
What makes this a humanist approach? Its the
ways that I frame each issue around the human
consequences of bad environmental policies.
4 Wednesday sessions 1:00 pm - 3:00
pm; starting March 7,
2012, ending March 28, 2012
