climate finance
This is the page for Caroline Bradley’s Climate Finance class at the University of Miami. I first offered this class in the Spring of 2020. In Spring 2024 the class is a 2 credit class.
Please see the Spring 2024 course materials page for an outline of the course [and for a developing list of readings for the course].
We will be meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 am in Room F302, beginning on Tuesday March 19.
The exam for this class will be a take-home examination you may take in any 8 hour block of time during the entire exam period.
Here are the Class Policies
