This is an in-depth, documentary-styled course, providing rich visual details and scientific and legal explanations.
Climate change is a universal and complex set of issues. There are numerous natural events and cycles which impact the global climate. For example, volcanic activity, solar variations, axial precession, ocean currents, El Nino-La Nina cycles, and Pacific Decadal Oscillation. These are areas that we will explore during this documentary-style course (to help also provide complex visual examples). Then there is what is known as human-induced or anthropogenic climate change. These are changes in the global climate that are attributed to human activities that considerably increase levels of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (otherwise known as CO2), as well as methane, nitrous oxide (otherwise known as NOx) and fluorinated gases. All of these are gases which prevent heat from leaving our atmosphere and exacerbate what is known as the greenhouse effect. These are also areas that we will be examining during this course. Our exploration of climate change will be based upon peer-reviewed evidence. During our exploration we will be looking primarily at the practical elements and issues. This course begins by defining both the terms climate change and global warming, before taking a visual journey to get a glimpse of some of the Earth’s natural environments and of the species who call Earth home. The purpose of the journey is to help lend context to some of the fundamental reasons why we are learning about climate change and how to properly address it. Next, we will look at what the Greenhouse Effect is and how it is changing, before exploring the natural events and cycles that impact the Earth’s climate, oceans and surface conditions. From there we shall examine the anthropogenic impacts on the global climate. Then we will conclude with the effective global efforts that are being made to contend with climate change, such as sustainable development. Efforts which include technologies, legal frameworks and realistic adaptations to our personal behaviour. The overall goal of this course is to help clarify the fundamentals of climate change and to provide the knowledge of how to contend with it in a meaningful and confident way.
* As we have been informed, by some students, that the content of this course is a little too in-depth and technical for them at times, we suggest that it is best to have a good understanding of climate change prior to attempting this course.
* We are generally excellent at responding to questions. However, sometimes our small team is on site on international sustainable development projects in other parts of the world, and in remote locations without internet or data access. Therefore, we are not able to see your messages/questions right away and not able to respond until we have internet and data access. Rest assured, we shall respond once we are able.
This course is ideal for students, world leaders, industry leaders, policymakers, teachers, and all people who want to gain an in-depth knowledge of global climate change and how to contend with it effectively. A previous knowledge of global climate change is recommended prior to attempting this course. From this documentary-styled visual training, you will:

As a PhD in international law Scott has spent a number of years working in international sustainable development (SD) and climate change adaptation and mitigation projects around the world - and within all five major sectors (e.g., public, private, IO, NGO, and academic). He specializes in a wide range of important areas, including: ESG; CSR; SDS; Policy Frameworks; Life Cycle Analysis; Sustainable Supply Chains; Conflict Resolution; Pathways to Net Zero; Clean Energy Infrastructure; Clean Tech; Risk Management; Project Management; Climate Litigation; Circular Economies, and more. This work has taken place: in universities as a professor; with the feds as a researcher, report writer and advisor; with tech multinationals as a manager and advisor; and with NGOs and international organizations as an executive director and project lead. The United Nations has formally honored his work and he continues to speak at UN conferences on a variety of SD and climate issues around the world. He has created a number of comprehensive, dedicated courses to help everyone gain a thorough and accessible understanding of what global sustainable development and climate change really is and how to most effectively and thoughtfully contend with important sustainable development and climate issues.
