How GBRI'S climate change ambassador program works?
Foundation Level (Level Zero – Trailblazer): Begin your journey with free foundational courses.
Whether it’s attending a live GBRI Climate Change event or engaging with our introductory article
course, “Climate Change & You: From Global Causes to Personal Solutions,” you’ll start to unravel
the complexities of climate change. Completing this level earns you the ‘Trailblazer Badge’.
Progressive Levels (Warrior, Champion, Ambassador): As you progress, the program deepens
with structured levels, each with a curated set of courses. These levels are designed to expand your
knowledge and skills progressively, moving from basic concepts to more nuanced aspects of climate
change and sustainability.
Bridging Gaps: The program includes a series of blogs and articles that complement our core
courses. These pieces cover a wide range of topics, offering perspectives and insights that might be
beyond the scope of formal coursework.
Engagement and Reflection: Each course includes interactive elements like quizzes and
discussions. We also encourage you to reflect on your learning journey, linking course content to real
world applications.
Recognition of Achievement: Upon completing each level’s requirements, you earn a badge –
Trailblazer, Warrior, Champion, or Ambassador. These badges are not just symbols of knowledge but
also your growing commitment to making a difference in the world of sustainability.
Tailored Learning Journey: The Climate Change Ambassador Program offers two pathways to
suit your learning style and schedule. You can embark on our structured 21-day challenge, designed
to maximize engagement and learning within a set timeframe, with each level spanning 7 days.
Alternatively, you can choose to progress at your own pace, delving into the courses and materials as
it suits you.
Participant-Centric Approach: Whether you opt for the 21-day challenge or prefer a self
paced journey, each approach ensures a rich learning experience. We understand that every
participant’s journey is unique, and our program is designed to accommodate this diversity.
