About the Course
From the 60s onwards, an awareness grew among governments and citizens globally of an “environmental crisis” due to a wide range of human activities and problems impacting on the environment. There is now universal consensus that “climate change” is one of the most serious and urgent threats facing the survival of humanity. Given GCED’s vision to promote education and action to build a holistic culture of peace that includes human and planetary “development” based on values, principles and strategies of sustainability, the “climate crisis” is hence an indispensable theme in GCED programs.
This APCEIU online course seeks to initially provide a critical understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change resulting in the climate crisis that disastrously affects the well-being of humanity and our planet. It also clarifies the alternative paradigms of “sustainable development” that underpins proposed and implemented strategies to address the climate crisis. The role of international policy and administrative institutions to undertake climate action, such as the Conference of the Parties (COP) to implement the UNFCCC, will be highlighted. Drawing on critical perspectives and social movements led especially by grassroots civil society organizations , NGOs and communities, the course also seeks catalyze personal and social action for climate justice in GCED.
