Engage with interactive video talks, discussions, and optional exercises to deepen your understanding and take action on climate change.
Explore the historical and projected changes in the climate system, the potential impact of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), and trends in climate change impacts. Gain insights into the responses from natural systems and the potential risks associated with a warmer world.
Dive into the sectoral impacts of climate change across different regions, including agricultural production, water resources, ecosystem services, and coastal vulnerability. Understand the risks to development gains and the urgent need for action in these areas.
Gain region-specific insights on mitigation actions, strategies for reducing emissions, and building climate resilience. Understand the progress of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the outcomes of the Paris Agreement. Engage in discussions with experts on transitioning towards a low-emissions, climate-resilient development path.
Discover the transformative impact of individual and collective actions on a global scale. Learn about the rationale for acting now, acting together, and acting differently in response to climate change. Explore examples and expected benefits of mitigation and adaptation policies, and engage in a final project to create a digital artifact on climate change action.
