Community-Based Climate Change Solutions

О курсе

Climate change will have tremendous impacts on every human community across the globe. However, because of the context of both how climate is changing and how communities are organized and function, it can be disastrous to apply the same solutions across the board. This course will teach you the basic principles needed to identify the dynamics and needs of each community, build on its strengths, and adopt best practices and practical frameworks for adapting climate change solutions to local contexts. You’ll learn tools and approaches to put these principles into practice across different community settings, regardless of your level of prior experience. This course is intended for professionals who have been tasked with implementing climate change solutions at the community level, whether in urban or rural areas or in industrialized or developing countries. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to effectively select and adapt climate change solutions to best match the specific social and environmental context of each community, and to engage community members in implementing sustainable solutions that produce positive, equitable outcomes. This course requires no previous knowledge of climate change solutions or of community engagement, and people with this knowledge will also benefit from the course.
