課程概述	本課程旨在引導學生關心當前迫切的地球環境問題。以人在三種不同環境下的互動關係為題，包含大氣、陸域與海洋等環境，探討環境與人如何在氣候變遷的脈絡下達成永續發展。本課程將逐一討論人與環境問題的本質，包含相關之理論、制定之政策、以及實踐之成果等，使不同領域的學生與教師，能夠在未來參與實務行動或制定相關政策時，對人與環境在不同面向上的牽連與影響，擁有更高的敏感度，並意識到其在不同人群間的複雜與多元性質。
課程目標	1. 了解特定地球環境問題(包括極端氣候、農業與糧食、全球化下跨國企業等)的理論背景與處理對策。 2. 透過探討具體案例，能夠理解、批判整合當前台灣政府與民間之對策，並提出建議。 3. 透過實作練習以及跨領域溝通，培養同學們面對氣候變遷、合作解決環境問題的能力。
課程要求	出席與課堂參與 (15%)、書報導讀與每週作業 (25%)、期中報告 (30%)、期末報告 (30%) 每周作業 (35%)，針對每周三篇讀本，分選其中一篇， (1) 深入五百字列點摘要，(2) 並且找尋各自文章 (中文英文不限) 相關新聞事件 (請貼全文與新聞連結)，並且 (3) 進行評析 (300-500 字)，以及 (4) 課後將該周上課自我反思整理。請大家從第二周開始繳交每周作業，其中前三項是在上課前兩天晚上 ( 即上課當周的周二晚上) 23點前完成，第四項於上課後兩天完成 (即上課當周周六晚上)23點完成。作業一律上傳到CEIBA討論區，四次小組(分組在第二周下課前確認) 報告 (2*25%)，分別在每一大部份結束之後進行，每次小組作業都需要以讀本文章，輔以自己收尋到的發表學術研究、政策報告與新聞報導等為主，言之有物。再來15% 是課程參與，除了踴躍發言，有料批評 (7.5%)，再來是從第三周起，每周三篇文章，分別有三個同學各自負責導讀評析紀錄 (7.5 %)，作者介紹，文章背景、文章重點)，並且彙整同學整理之新聞與摘要，以及提出有意義發問，以及課後將討論做成2000字左右的報導。輪值的同學當周不用交該篇文章摘要。碩士班優先輪第二次。加分作業 (10%)，每周作業繳交一份以上的文章反思（內容如前所述，包括列點摘要、相關新聞事件、評析等）。每多一份則酌量加1-3%。加分作業 (10%)，將上課反思投稿 (論理力、新聞感、即時性)，或針對相關專書，結合上課文獻以書評格式投稿。將知識與現實進一步對話，用文字來參與社會變遷。
