Both outline of paper and final paper.
Pretend you work for a government agency and your boss has asked you to prepare a report about a pressing environmental issue. You will choose an environmental issue from a set provided on Canvas (and listed at the bottom of this document). You will write a three-part paper based on this issue. Part I , present the environmental science background of the issue. Part II , analyze the ways in which different actors involved or impacted by the environmental issue are affected by it. Part III, explain the political-legal circumstances raised by the issue and the proposed policy solutions. Assume your audience is college-educated but does not have a background in the particular issue you are addressing.
The paper is not an editorial or advocacy piece. It should present material from a neutral perspective, not present your personal opinion . In this paper, avoid using biased phrasing such as “should” or “must” or personal statements such as “I believe” or “I feel”.
Your paper should be informed by data and insights from peer-reviewed academic articles, news articles, and policy documents such as white papers. For each environmental issue, we will provide three sources, one in each of these source categories. You will need to find at least four additional, credible sources (to have a minimum of 7 sources in total). Two of the sources you provide must be peer-reviewed academic articles. The others can come from any of the three categories.
A peer-reviewed academic article is one that is published in a scholarly journal after having been reviewed and evaluated by a panel of scientists. You can learn more about peer-reviewed
