Learning for a Sustainable Future: Live at COP28 (Coursera)

You’ll explore the broader context of COP28 and consider other key frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.
Throughout the course, we will share ‘live’ insights into the issues being discussed at COP28, as well as responses to the conference themes from children and young people, community groups and ministerial bodies, both nationally and internationally.
Using these ‘starting points’, we will invite you to reflect on what you have heard, watched and read and think about what these conversations and issues mean to you. We will provide opportunities for discussion and reflection and will share ideas and inspiration to help us all take our next steps beyond the Conference.
There has never been a more urgent need for the world to work together and take collaborative action to secure a sustainable future for people and planet.
Join us and become part of our shared learning community, where everyone, course team included, is encouraged to reflect, share and learn with and from one another during COP28.
