The present climate and ecological emergencies can no longer be ignored, yet the social and political response to them does not match the scale and urgency of action required. A vague sense among global northerners that things are bad and that they will get much worse manifests as emotional paralysis, despair, and both active and passive denial, none of which help the individual, or to mitigate the crises.
This course aims to illuminate the dark cloud in our minds called climate breakdown, by equipping learners with the scientific knowledge, emotional clarity, and practical know-how to contribute to timely transformative systemic change in all aspects of society.
