This 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 to catalyze personal and social action for climate justice in GCED.
