issues, including governance challenges; international regimes; the
role of non-state actors; adaptation strategies of actors and
institutions, especially at the local and household levels; and
mitigation strategies at all levels. Consistent with the SGS vision,
applicants should consider links between global and local
institutions, policies, actions and outcomes.
The appointee will develop courses on climate change and
environmental governance for the SGS undergraduate Environment track,
and collaborate with other relevant units at ASU, such as the School
of Sustainability.
