This is a graduate level survey course that brings senior leaders,
policymakers, activists, investors, and thinkers across disciplines in the
environmental and climate field into conversations with graduate students.
The course focuses on a solutions-based lens and explores perspectives and
pathways on how to rapidly decarbonize our global economy to reach targets
for GHG reductions and biodiversity loss. The course also aims to provide
opportunities for students to expand their networks and engage formally and
informally with leading thinkers and involves optional evening events
through the quarter to dig deeper into the topics and themes covered in
the course.



Speakers will include political figures and policymakers, academics from
other institutions, investors at leading funds, corporate sustainability
leaders from Fortune 100 companies, and more. The course will also bring a
media, storytelling, and cultural lens to our discussions and will be
grounded in an audience framework developed by Harmony Labs and their work
on a Narrative Observatory

.



The course is application-only, and we will cap the course size at 25.
Students will be assigned weekly readings and will be responsible for
completing short 2-3 paragraph reflections on the readings prior to each
seminar.



Brady Walkinshaw is founding CEO of a new global climate initiative, Earth
Alliance, co-founded by philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs and actor
Leonardo DiCaprio to accelerate progress on solving the climate crisis.
Before taking the helm at Earth Alliance, Brady was CEO at Grist, the
nation's leading environment media nonprofit. He has also served as a
Washington State senator (43rd District) where he chaired the Latino Caucus.
