We start the course with an introduction to climate change. We'll have a look at its impacts, why climate justice is important, and two key solutions: mitigation and adaptation.
Week 2: The Science of Climate Solutions
This second module focuses on science. We'll look at the causes of climate change, where emissions come from, and why ‘1.5 degrees’ and ‘Net Zero’ are the two most important numbers in the world!
Week 3: The Levers of Climate Solutions
In this third module, we'll explore how climate change can be tackled through actions right across societies; the strategies that can and are being used; and the need to prepare for the impacts of climate change as well as to cut emissions.
Week 4: Climate Solutions for Nations
In this fourth module, we'll look at what governments and big institutions are doing (and what they're not!) so far to fight climate change, and what they need to do now.
Week 5: Climate Solutions for You
In this final module, we'll reflect on our behaviours and discover how each of us can take action to reduce our carbon footprint. You'll discover how you can take climate action from home, work and study, from what you buy to who you vote for!
