Leadership for sustainable change, 18.1.-6.3.2022, 5 ECTS  

A sustainable world needs leaders. This is a course about sustainable world and how to get there.

SystemsChange.now, 17.1.-27.3.2022, 5 ECTS

Climate change calls for urgent attention to the specific links between humans and our natural environment. Understanding these connections and their implications is crucial for responding to climate change as a global challenge. When we understand climate change as a systemic phenomenon, i.e. as the product of a certain system of connections between things, we unlock a powerful set of tools for making sense of it – systems thinking.

Students of other Climate University institutions register here. Others register via Open University of Turku, here.

 

Ilmastoviestintä.nyt / ClimateComms.now, 17.1.-25.3.2022, 2 ECTS  

What is the role of communication in solving the climate crisis? ClimateComms.now dives into the importance and challenges of communicating about climate change, and covers the factors of effective climate communication. 

Students of the University of Helsinki (course code ATM382) and University of Oulu (course code 766382A) register via their own systems. Students of other Climate University institutions register here (see instructions). Others register via Open University of Oulu, here.
