Climate crisis is the greatest challenge facing humanity and urgent action is necessary to ensure a livable planet for future generations. For many, the scale of the problem is overwhelming and the path to a carbon-neutral future – unclear. During this course, participants will learn about the main drivers behind global warming and what solutions carry the most potential for addressing this issue. Just as the climate crisis is a multidisciplinary issue, the course will build on concepts from natural sciences, engineering, and economics, but no prior knowledge is required. The classes will consist of introductory lectures and follow-up discussions and presentations where participants will link the content to their local circumstances.

Syllabus:
1. Drivers of global warming
2. Sustainable energy
3. Sustainable agriculture, forests, and land use
4. Degrowth, indigenous knowledge and non-industrial approaches to the climate crisis
