Week Thirteen: Policy Briefing

It was quite remarkable to hear the breadth and depth of research that my classmates put into their white papers. I haven’t taken a cross discipline class like this in a long time and it is one of the things I have come to appreciate the most about the class. There were so many topics that I either would have never thought of investigating or, before this class, have any interest in pursuing. The military’s stance on climate change? For someone who usually ignores what the military is doing, I am now incredibly interested in how this issue will play out for them. Climate displaced people? Before this class, my uninformed assumption was that this type of climate change effect was still a ways off. I am really interested to see how my and my classmate’s topics play out in the next two weeks.


It is also hard to believe I am one day away from leaving for Paris! There are so many reasons why I am excited for this trip, both personal and professional. I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of the CSB/SJU delegation and am looking forward to our experiences!
