The course "Climate Change – Science, Impacts, and Solutions" offers a comprehensive and in-depth learning experience, combining up-to-date scientific knowledge with a practical understanding of the implications of climate change on global ecological and social systems. Over ten sessions, participants will explore the complexity of climate change, from a deep understanding of the differences between weather phenomena and long-term climate processes, to an analysis of technological solutions and global policy. The course begins with a historical overview, from the Industrial Revolution to the present day, focusing on the greenhouse effect and climate feedback mechanisms. Participants will delve into the analysis of the latest scientific reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), examine their findings, and develop an understanding of their global and local implications. The course delves into topics such as the impact of transportation, meat, and fashion industries on climate change processes, while examining existing solutions and innovative alternatives, including carbon capture technologies, renewable energies, and sustainable agricultural methods. Additional topics include the politics and economics of climate change and urban nature, analysis of international treaties and agreements, emissions trading mechanisms, and the impact of urban development on micro-climates. The course also introduces the concept of carbon footprint, explains its importance, and emphasizes the impact of personal and organizational actions. Throughout the course, participants engage in practical research and application activities, such as analyzing climate data, calculating carbon footprints, and developing emission reduction strategies. By the end of the course, participants will have acquired comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge about climate science and its implications, developed awareness of the importance of action at various levels, and gained practical and analytical tools to reduce their impact on the climate and promote sustainable solutions.
