CLIMATE 668N
Climate and Energy
Luana Lima
Description from DukeHub
This course introduces the energy system from a climate perspective, examines how the ways in which we supply and use energy affect greenhouse gas emissions, and explores low-carbon alternatives. The class approaches the mitigation challenge by discussing how the energy system itself is organized: how we got to where we are today, how the existing system operates, what might be feasible going forward, and how we can leverage the forces driving change for a more sustainable future. An energy system perspective is essential to this understanding, and therefore frames the course. This course is for MBCS students.
