Notre ambition est triple :

  • Éclairer l’écologie, vous montrer en quoi et pourquoi elle est le fondement de notre monde, de notre existence même, et de celle de nos descendants.
  • Vous montrer que l'écologie ouvre à une nouvelle culture, de nouveaux modèles de développement et de nouvelles organisations de la société.
  • Vous montrer qu'elle est le socle indispensable à une économie innovante, durable, dans une société ouverte et créative.

Ce MOOC s’adresse à toutes et à tous, quels que soient votre situation, votre lieu de vie, vos projets.
Ce cours est organisé en 5 modules traitant du climat, de l'énergie, de la biodiversité, de l'économie et des enjeux de société. Chaque module donnera lieu à une évaluation des connaissances acquises.

The Global Energy and Climate Policy course offers an introduction to the theoretical and practical understanding of how energy and climate change policies are designed, shaped, advocated and implemented. As energy markets go truly global, domestic energy policies are becoming more and more entangled with wider issues of international governance. Concurrently, the urgent need to mitigate and adapt to climate change and transition to a low-carbon future is adding a further layer of complexity.

Planet Earth ... and You! (Coursera)

Sci: Energy & Earth Sciences Sci: Physical & Earth Sciences

Earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, ice ages, landslides, floods, life evolution, plate motions—all of these phenomena have interacted over the vast expanses of deep time to sculpt the dynamic planet that we live on today. Planet Earth presents an overview of several aspects of our home, from a geological perspective. We begin with earthquakes—what they are, what causes them, what effects they have, and what we can do about them. We will emphasize that plate tectonics—the grand unifying theory of geology—explains how the map of our planet's surface has changed radically over geologic time, and why present-day geologic activity—including a variety of devastating natural disasters such as earthquakes—occur where they do. We consider volcanoes, types of eruptions, and typical rocks found there.

Energy management for real estate. Methods and digital tools (Coursera)

Sci: Environment

The figure of the Energy Manager (EM), introduced in the United States in the early 1970s, during the first oil crisis, brought to light the need to get more work out of less energy. In Italy, this figure was officially introduced by Law 308/82, but had its first strong impulse thanks to Law 10/91, aimed at implementing the National Energy Plan on the rational use of energy, energy saving and the development of renewable energy sources. More in detail, an Energy Manager is a person whose task is to manage what concerns energy within a company, a public body, or more generally a structure, verifying the energy consumption, optimising it, and promoting interventions aimed at energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources.
