by As climate change intensifies, so does the intensity of the challenges and impacts. We need to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) and respond with creative, resilient and collaborative actions to the impacts we are already experiencing (adaptation).
Canada needs a skilled workforce to take on the challenges in the decades ahead.
The transition towards sustainability has important implications for the workforce. We are seeing an increased need for skilled climate professionals and an expanding labour market aligned to “green” jobs to adapt to and mitigate the climate crisis.
The Climate Adaptation Fundamentals Micro-credential is an ideal entry point into this expanding and essential labour market.
This program advances new thinking and actions via online courses covering a range of topics related to climate action for working professionals. Completion of four courses will provide you with the Climate Adaptation Fundamentals Micro-Credential.
The program explores how climate change is affecting us, what we can do to reduce the impacts, and how we can increase our individual and collective resilience and adaptability. You will actively engage within a multidisciplinary and professional community to develop the foundational knowledge and skills to bring climate action strategies and transition leadership into your workplace. You will develop an understanding of regional climate trends and risks, their implications for human, infrastructure, and natural systems, and how change leadership, financial, and policy approaches are integral to devising real solutions.
Completion of the Climate Adaptation Fundamentals Micro-credential can be used as one course (3 credits) in the Master of Arts Climate Action Leadership.
