Climate Change Science and Negotiations
The time has come to address climate change. The average surface temperature of the Earth has risen dangerously, causing devastating effects not only on natural ecosystems around the world but also on daily human life. Mankind is currently on track for a 4°C or higher temperature increase this century, despite scientists and policymakers proposing targets of only 1-2°C to avoid total planet destruction. Learn how to mitigate the effects of global greenhouse gas emissions that cause temperature rises in this Climate Change Science and Negotiations online course, as well as how to apply these solutions in various national contexts. This course was developed in advance of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris. While the political landscape has rapidly changed, this course provides a solid overview of the science behind climate change
This Climate change course is for: Graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in the fields of sustainable development, environmental science, sustainable business, international relations, or related fields who are interested in the latest on climate change; Climate change activists who want a concise overview of the current issues shaping debate and action; Sustainable development practitioners – as well as private-sector actors, such as corporate sustainability and responsibility groups and those who work in the technology or energy industries – who need to understand key issues and facts about climate change, including emissions targets and emerging regulations
