Introduction
Complete our Climate Crisis and Sustainability course online, which is offered in partnership with the University of Richmond and UNC Charlotte, to learn about how to sustainably manage the operations of public or private organisations in a wide range of fields. Afterwards, you’ll have insight into the fundamentals of environmental sustainability and will be able to more thoughtfully pursue a career in sustainability management.
Skills you’ll acquire
After completing this course you’ll be able to:
- explain the science and principles of environment and climate change
- discuss how sustainability is achieved in business, schools, universities and our lives
- analyse how sustainability concerns, governmental objectives and strategic business goals have become interlinked
- explore key concepts, terminology and tools used to analyse sustainability
- reflect on how to take action in your own life to contribute to sustainability.
Is this course for you?
If you are passionate about sustainability and creating a balance between natural resources and organisational success, then this course is for you. This is the perfect course for those looking to explore taking up sustainability as a career, but those who would simply like to learn more about sustainability will also benefit. Everyone from high school, college and graduate students to mid-career professionals and retired seniors can join.
Course Curriculum
Then you’ll go on to analyse real-world case studies. You'll discuss methods being used to tackle environmental sustainability issues such as agriculture and food production, air pollution, water scarcity, transportation, urbanization and waste management and recycling. Examples of this could be investigating how local organisations are working with farmers to improve sustainability in agriculture, by replacing land clearing with organic farming methods or examining ways to replace fossil fuel expenditure with greener energy sources.
Lastly, you’ll explore the future of environmental sustainability. You’ll learn how companies can shift to become more sustainable in their operational practices, and how this will help businesses reduce waste while maximising the use of their existing resources to turn a profit.
