The Hertog Global Strategy Initiative (HGSI) seeks talented  
undergraduates, graduate students, and mid-career professionals for  its 2013 seminar on the History of Climate Change and the Future of Global Governance.

HGSI is a research program that explores how the world community has  responded to planetary threats to derive lessons that will help us  take on the challenges of the present and the future. Each summer, a  select group of participants comes to Columbia University for three  months to work with leading scholars and policymakers. This year's  initiative hopes to train a new generation of researchers and leaders  who understand both the development of climate science and the changing nature of world politics.

The 2013 seminar will be taught by Matthew Connelly, Professor of  
History at Columbia University, and Jim Fleming, Professor of Science,  Technology, and Society at Colby College. They will be assisted in the classroom by Deborah Coen, Paul Edwards, Mike Hulme, Anthony Janetos, Bill McKibben, Geoffrey Parker, Gavin Schmidt, John Topping, and many other leaders in the field.

Participants pursue original research both independently and in teams. Students will receive eight credit points for the seminar, the  equivalent of two semester-long courses at Columbia.
