Overview Week 1
This module highlights the increasing importance of global management of transnational issues such as health and the environment.
The course will develop the concept of global public goods and new governance mechanisms such as public-private partnerships and apply it to environmental and health issues.
Lectures will discuss international efforts to respond to global warming. Topics include an analysis of the importance and role of the Kyoto protocol, access to water, as well as discussions on the role of UNEP in a world with an increasing number of environmental agreements.
