This course has been designed to help professionals working across multiple disciplines bring a climate change adaptation lens to their current and future projects.
Educators and students are excited and interested in learning about climate change, but many times we hear that they don’t know where to start. This series of videos was created by Dr. Kat Huybers, a glaciologist at the University of Washington. Dr. Huybers guides learners through four topics, including the following: It’s Warming, It’s Us, It’s Bad, and We Can Fix It. While watching these videos, the accompanying questions will guide learners in thinking critically about their relationship with climate change and also expose them to additional resources to deepen their understanding. These videos may work well as asynchronous foundational learning before a synchronous workshop.
The easy-to-understand self-study tutorial democratises contextual climate education in Nigeria through an easy-to-understand open self-study tutorial. Taking into consideration the ways climate change affects different regions, the online self-study tutorial is designed to build the capacity of any literate person with little or no prior formal education or knowledge of climate change. The open tutorial will also be beneficial for participants interested in building their capacity on climate education for the non-specialist audience.
This course consists of 4 modules and is designed to help government, professionals in multiple disciplines and community organizations understand the fast-emerging field of natural asset management.
Visualizing Energy is an open access, interdisciplinary science communication project that aims to increase actionable knowledge about a sustainable and just energy transition. It uses engaging visualizations coupled with accessible data stories to communicate in clear, concise, jargon-free language. It is highly interdisciplinary and uses energy as an organizing principle to reveal logical connections across disciplines. Visualizing Energy knits data analysis, visualizations, and the written word into stories that promote critical thinking and communication. Its initial focus is on three interconnected areas: the connection between energy and human well-being; the history of energy transitions; and equity issues surrounding energy transitions (energy justice, energy burden, energy poverty, energy insecurity).
The project co-leaders are Cutler J. Cleveland, Professor of Earth and Environment, and Heather Clifford, data scientist in the Boston University Institute for Global Sustainability.
