Course Description:
Climate change is the greatest challenge of the 21st century. There is good reason for alarm, yet scientists tell us that humanity may still be able to contain the crisis if it acts swiftly. But act how? And does individual behavior matter at all? In this course we will explore what we, as individuals and collectively, can and indeed must do to contribute to a sustainable life for people and planet. We will learn from good practices found across the globe, but most importantly, we will think about the impact of our own 21st century lives and the positive change we are capable of.
