As climate impacts intensify, communities need leaders who can turn evidence into coordinated, on-the-ground resilience. This specialization is intended for learners and professionals—across government, nonprofits, education, healthcare, and business—who want practical skills to lead community-based climate action and advance equity-centered outcomes. Through three courses, you will examine the evidence and physical science of climate change, the drivers and trends of greenhouse gas emissions, and how the climate may change in the future. You will then apply leadership principles, ethics, design thinking, and inclusive team-building to engage stakeholders, align priorities, and mobilize collective action. By the end, you’ll be better equipped to select and adapt climate solutions to local social and environmental conditions and support resilient, sustainable communities.
Applied Learning Project
Learners will engage in module quizzes and structured reflection prompts that help learners apply climate science concepts, leadership principles, and local-solution frameworks to authentic real-world situations in their own community or organization.
