ENVS 459 - Energy, Governance, and Sustainability

This course examines the ways in which communities and societies at various scales ¿ from the local, through the provincial, to the national, and then the global ¿ are driving energy transitions and advancing energy sustainability outcomes through various governance arrangements. Focusing upon energy as socio-technical systems, investigating multiple actors (governments, utilities, businesses, civil society, etc.), this course both analyzes current governance arrangements and identifies and evaluates alternatives going forward.
