The Global Network Course was a collaboration between the Yale School of Management and the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.

An article on the website of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies looks back at the creation of Natural Capital: Risks and Opportunities in Global Resource Systems, a Global Network course which launched this year.
