On this three-week course, you’ll learn how to become ‘climate literate’ to help you make climate-conscious decisions.
You’ll discover how to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions of various human activities and gain the tools to choose climate solutions that have the highest impact, for everyone’s benefit.

To help give you context, you’ll develop a basic understanding of climate change science and carbon storage, as well as climate justice and the related changes needed worldwide.
With this knowledge, you’ll be able to explain climate change science and the best solutions to your colleagues, friends, and family.
Unpack decarbonisation and carbon sinks
You’ll learn how to take a systems approach and explore the decisions that need to be taken on a global scale, including the decarbonisation of society. You’ll delve into the greenhouse gas effects and carbon sinks to help you explore solutions relating to carbon emissions.
This knowledge will help you look at how to influence the wider systems to reduce global warming and how to create your own action plan to do this.
