Learning for a Sustainable Future: Live at COP26
Learning for a Sustainable Future: Live at COP26
What on Earth could be more important than understanding and taking action on the big issues that shape our world? Climate change, gender equality, health, social equity and inclusion are issues that affect us all, wherever we live, and impact on human wellbeing and economic stability.
This two-week online course ran live during the UN COP26 Climate Conference in November 2021 to highlight news, events and activities as the conference unfolds. The course content explores the broader context of COP26 and invites you to consider other key frameworks such as COP15 (The UN Convention on Biological Diversity) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
These videos are free, open resources originally created for the short course, Learning for a Sustainable Future: Live at COP26 on FutureLearn. The course is no longer running, but you can still work through the resources in your own time using the videos in this channel.
