Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to introduce students to the scientific foundations of climate change and the policy and economic mechanisms driving the transition to a low-carbon economy. It seeks to develop a basic understanding of international climate governance, carbon pricing, and green transformation policies.
Course Content: This course examines global climate change from scientific, economic, and policy perspectives. It covers the causes and impacts of climate change, market failures, and the transition to a low-carbon economy. The course also analyses international climate governance, carbon pricing mechanisms, and emissions trading systems. Special emphasis is placed on the European Green Deal, CBAM, and their implications for international trade and green transformation.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Explain the scientific foundations and main causes of global climate change.
2) Analyse the economic rationale for climate policies, including market failures and carbon pricing mechanisms.
3) Evaluate the impacts of climate change on sectors, trade, and economic development.
4) Assess international climate agreements and climate governance frameworks.
5) Interpret the European Green Deal, CBAM, and emissions trading systems in the context of green transformation.
