This interdisciplinary major at Duke unites Earth-system science with economics, law, and social equity to craft actionable climate and conservation policy. Students analyze atmospheric CO₂ datasets in one class and testify at mock Congressional hearings in the next. Partnerships with the Nicholas Institute and the UN Climate Secretariat give undergrads real-world venues to translate research into regulation, market incentives, and grassroots advocacy.
