ONLINE: In this course, we will explore the causes, effects and status of human-driven climate change, and the opportunities and challenges of potential solutions: the renewable energy sources solar, wind and geothermal; nuclear fission and fusion; low-emissions transportation; and innovations in energy efficiency, the electrical grid and energy storage. We will look at carbon removal using ecosystems and technology, as well as geoengineering carbon removal and solar radiation reflection. The course also examines adaptation, economics and public policy, and how each of us can help mitigate climate change. This science-based course is designed for students of all backgrounds; no prior expertise is required. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion.
