Welcome to the next stage of your journey towards becoming a well-informed and proactive Climate Change Ambassador. In this level, we delve deeper into the multifaceted issues surrounding climate change, from basic scientific principles to its social and economic ramifications. The courses in this level are meticulously designed to offer a well-rounded perspective, providing not just knowledge but also sparking the critical thinking needed to engage meaningfully with the challenges at hand.
You’ll learn about the fundamental science behind climate change in ‘Climate Change – Get the Basics Right.’ Explore the health implications with an expert in ‘Climate Change and health: a lunchtime chat with Dr. Joan Schiller.’ Contemplate responsibility and accountability with courses like ‘Climate Change: Not My Problem (But Whose Is It?)’ and ‘Outsourcing Pollution: Are Developed Countries Outsourcing Pollution?’.
We also venture into specialized domains, examining the sustainability of our oceans, the burgeoning field of cultivated meat, the ethics of travel, and the roles different industries play in exacerbating or mitigating climate change.
By completing these courses, you are not just enriching your understanding but also equipping yourself to be part of meaningful dialogues and actions that can lead to lasting change.
