課程概述	The Course Overview 課程概述 This pilot course is based on the model course, Bending the Curve: Climate Change Solutions course, which is designed and produced by a University of California education team that includes: Prof Veerabhadran Ramanathan of University of California, San Diego who is the leading academician of climate change and also the award winner of Tang Prize in 2018. The model course focuses on scalable solutions for carbon neutrality and climate stability. The model course adopts climate change mitigation policies, technologies, governance and actions that California, the UC system, and cities around the world have adopted as living laboratories and challenges students to identify locally and globally scalable solutions. It also adopts the Ten Scalable Solutions as determined by fifty faculties from the 10-campus UC system under UC’s Carbon Neutrality Initiative. This course on climate change solutions provides the tools to undergraduate students for exploring practical, scalable solutions. National Taiwan University will collaborate with the University of California to introduce this model course to the NTU campus as the first teaching partnership outside of California, United States. This pilot course will introduce the Bending the Curve course to NTU students and connect the model course with the local and regional experience in Taiwan.
課程目標	Course Goals 課程目標 The climate change already impacted every individual on the planet. In order to prepare our future generation to explore the related issues and carry out the solutions collectively, this course will introduce the six clusters and ten solutions framework created by the Bending the Curve report. The framework provided tools to students, so they can bend the curve & preserve nature for future generations. By the end of the course the student will be able to: 1. Explain the basic concepts of climate change science. 2. Explain some of the social, scientific and political antecedents that have led to the crisis driving the current need for climate stability. 3. Compare the impact that climate change has on the world from various perspectives, including(but not limited to) scientific, technological, socio-economic, governance/regulatory. 4. Identify various solutions for carbon neutrality and climate stability, and their interrelationships. 5. Associated climate change mitigation strategies with the casualties that they can trigger, and consider nuanced variations on strategies that lessen the impact on victims. 6. Organize climate mitigation under the six clusters and apply the ten pragmatic, scalable solutions from the Bending the Course report in ways that address human dimensions of the problem. 7. Identify some of the roles that individuals and groups can play in addressing climate change in one’s community. 8. Identify opportunities for action within one’s community. 9. Articulate a statement of personal and social responsibility for environmental equity, ethics, and justice which can guide decisions and behaviors.
課程要求	Course Requirement 課程要求 Students are expected to review the video lectures before coming to the class and study the required readings for each lecture. The course schedule shows the videos that will be discussed in each class. Students will be divided into multi-disciplinary teams of 4 to 5 people. The student's teams have to discuss the questions and prepare the presentations with questions, discussion topics in advance. All students are welcomed to bring out their questions and actively participate the class discussion.
