More about this course

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. The impacts of climate change are already being felt across the world, and these impacts are set to worsen in years to come.
On this five-week course from the University of Edinburgh, you will gain the knowledge and tools you need to help tackle the climate crisis, homing in on the specific challenges faced in Malawi.
The science is now unequivocal that humans are the main driver of changes we are seeing in our climate. This course will guide you through the history of global climate change, and provide an overview of the impact it is having on our world.
You will delve further into climate science, policy, and economics, covering key concepts like the carbon cycle, greenhouse gases, and climate justice.
Global economic inequalities mean that some countries are disproportionately impacted by climate risks. In Malawi, the effects of rising temperatures and hazards like drought or flooding are significantly reducing the country's ability to combat poverty.
Guided by researchers and local climate experts, you will learn more about the specific situation in Malawi. You will explore how Malawi's climate has changed in recent years and how these changes are making it harder for the country to achieve its development goals.
Finally, you will look at ways of mitigating climate risk and things you can do to help tackle the climate crisis. You will compare existing initiatives, new solutions, and recent developments in climate activism.
By the end of the course, you will have a clear sense of actions you can take to get involved and inspire others to fight the climate crisis.
