Course description and aims
Explain the mechanism of climate change and mitigation & adaptation policies, and introduce the countermeasures in Japan.
And assess the mitigation policies toward a low carbon society by using the general equilibrium model, and discuss the necessary countermeasures to avoid the climate change.
Student learning outcomes
Understand the roles of science and policy to solve the climate change issue. Then understand how the science can contribute to the environmental policies.
Through the programming of computable general equilibrium model, try to quantify the environmental policies, and assess the appropriate policies.
Keywords
Environmental policy, climate change, mitigation and adaptation, policy and science, general equilibrium model
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Each class will be explained by using the related literatures. And through the presentation by students, the students will deepen the debate on the solution by environmental policies.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
Since the topics cover very broad issues, the related literatures will be provided each time.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
The related literatures will be provided each time.
Assessment criteria and methods
Periodical small report for each class (30%), presentation (40%) and final report (30%)
