The LET-DOWN course: Environment, Development and Climate Change
Ohh, the final comprehensive examination of this semester. Environment, development and climate change. To be very honest, I could not give two shits about environment and development. I only took the course to be able to study climate change. I was kind of let down. Well, I expected the course to be a scientific one, one that tackles climate change and works on strategies for the same. But being a humanities course only the political and social perspective of climate change was discussed.
We had to study sustainable development, its policies, global implementations and then read up on counter currents.
Then we read up some case studies on food scarcity and the resource-poor ending up with regional impacts of climate change and adaptation strategies. Tackling where?
It was dumb of me to register for a humanities course and expect to study strategies but we move on.
Edit: I even lost a grade in it. Got a bloody 9.
This was written for a course I had in the semester that ran in the months August 2021 to December 2021.
