Learning for Sustainable Futures: Live at COP30

О курсе

The 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) will take place in Belém, Brazil, from 10–23 November 2025. This major global event will bring together world leaders, climate experts, and campaigners to agree on and accelerate coordinated action to address climate change. To run alongside the conference, we are offering a free, two-week online course that explores what COP30 is, why it matters, and how you can add your voice to the call for collective action toward a sustainable future. We are delighted to be able to offer an official certificate on completion of the course, from the University of Edinburgh, in partnership with Scotland's UN University-recognised Regional Centre of Expertise in Education on Sustainable Development (Learning for Sustainability Scotland) and the British Council. Throughout the course, you will: Explore the broader context of COP30, including key frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB 62), and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. Gain ‘live’ insights into the discussions taking place at COP30. Hear responses to the conference themes from children and young people, community groups, and government bodies from across the world. Using these insights as starting points, you’ll be encouraged to reflect on your own role and engagement. The course offers spaces for discussion and reflection, where you can exchange ideas and inspiration with our learning community as we consider our moves towards action. Now more than ever, global collaboration is essential to build sustainable futures for both people and the planet. Join our shared learning community during COP30. Together with participants and course facilitators alike, we’ll reflect, share, and learn from one another.
