Harvard Extension School's Sustainability & Environmental Management Program
[Online Enrollment until Jan. 24, 2010]
The *Harvard Extension School* http://www.extension.harvard.edu/ is
offereing an online undergraduate and graduate-level course focusing on the
theme: *”After Copenhagen,
2009″*in the
forthcoming Spring semester. This course is believed to be, in
fact, the first university course to focus specifically on what the world
community needs to do about the changing global climate now that the
Copenhagen meetings have concluded. It will be accessible around the world
through the Harvard Extension School’s Sustainability and Environmental
Management Program. http://www.extension.harvard.edu/envr/default.jsp
Supported by the research resources of the Cambridge Climate Research
Associates (CCRA) http://climate-research.com/, this 15-week long course
will offer 2 hours a week of online lectures and extensive online
multi-media support and research documentation for all students.
The course focuses on the latest science of climate change as well as
upon the social impact and diplomacy of our evolving global circumstance.
Students, citizens and mid-career professionals with an enormous range of
backgrounds have found this course to be very fruitful for their own work –
whether they are journalists, school-teachers, government officials,
military personnel, business leaders, city planners, public health officers,
etc — or, in fact, graduate or undergraduate students at other
institutions who have enrolled in this course to supplement their own degree
work.
This course is offered as part of a sequence of courses over the years
of the “Climate Talks Project”
(http://climate-talks.net/).
The syllabus from the courses in previous years is available online, but
the key feature of this new course will be its focus specifically upon the
post-Copenhagen moment in the evolution of global climate understanding and
action.
Enrollment online
http://www.extension.harvard.edu/2009-10/register/is possible until
24 January and beyond that in extenuating circumstances.
