This course will examine how new developments (big data, remote sensing data, machine learning) in combination with robust evaluation methods can help answer the central evaluation question: did the conservation intervention make a difference compared to no intervention at all? Rigorous answers to this question is critical to strengthen the evidence base to inform the design of more effective conservation interventions. The course should be of special interest to graduate students (in NRES, ACE, Geography, Political Science, and other programs) interested to learn about current methods to assess conservation and other environmental policies.

The concept of environmental governance has arisen to characterize a wide array of interventions seeking to change incentives, knowledge, institutions, and behavior related to the environment. But what is environmental governance? How is it distinctive from governance? How does governance operate to shape environmental outcomes? And how might we observe and measure its effects? This graduate reading course will seek to answer these questions by exploring parts of the broad literature on this topic. Readings will be drawn from political science, public policy, geography, and interdisciplinary environmental studies. The course will examine governance primarily in relation to the environmental issues of biodiversity conservation, forest management, and climate change. We will explore how governance works in and across international, national, and sub-national levels. Interactions across scales, especially relating to international aid interventions, will be of particular interest.
