The Plan 280 Environmental Planning and Policy Analysis (EPPA) Course is an introductory graduate-level course on the fundamental concepts and issues that confront environmental and natural resources (ENR) policymakers and planners in practice. The term “environmental planning” encompasses a wide array of planning techniques and institutional settings. Rather than focusing on a single type of planning (e.g., cost-benefit analysis, impact assessment, site design), the course is designed to address recurring value-based and analytical conflicts that span various environmental policymaking and planning activities. This course is also designed as a hands-on preparation for an environmental policy issue paper and/or the collection and analysis of best practices on a particular ENR policy and planning topic/theme at the end of the semester.
