Great course, every information is shared related with climate change, best part is conversations between expert and a undergraduate/Phd students, giving there views and different questions.

Overall, the course was good, I learnt many new things about climate change mitigation and adaptation. I learnt that both individual and communnity level steps are required to bring a change, particularly in case of climate change. We should definitely move to sustainability for the survival of us as well as our future generation. I know, change lifestyle at individual level is difficult, if you live in a society that does not care about climate change, but it is not impossible.

A very well structured course, with quality content and constant review of the learning of the concepts. The final project is not only an assignment to certify, but an opportunity to reflect on the individual, collective and political actions that we can take to face the climate crisis. I recommend it!

This course goes into the weeds when it comes to the steps individual, community and political actions that can be taken to reduce our environmental impact on the planet and perhaps, leave a better planet for future generations!
