This course has been designed to help professionals working across multiple disciplines bring a climate change adaptation lens to their current and future projects.
The easy-to-understand self-study tutorial democratises contextual climate education in Nigeria through an easy-to-understand open self-study tutorial. Taking into consideration the ways climate change affects different regions, the online self-study tutorial is designed to build the capacity of any literate person with little or no prior formal education or knowledge of climate change. The open tutorial will also be beneficial for participants interested in building their capacity on climate education for the non-specialist audience.
This course consists of 4 modules and is designed to help government, professionals in multiple disciplines and community organizations understand the fast-emerging field of natural asset management.
Visualizing Energy is an open access, interdisciplinary science communication project that aims to increase actionable knowledge about a sustainable and just energy transition. It uses engaging visualizations coupled with accessible data stories to communicate in clear, concise, jargon-free language. It is highly interdisciplinary and uses energy as an organizing principle to reveal logical connections across disciplines. Visualizing Energy knits data analysis, visualizations, and the written word into stories that promote critical thinking and communication. Its initial focus is on three interconnected areas: the connection between energy and human well-being; the history of energy transitions; and equity issues surrounding energy transitions (energy justice, energy burden, energy poverty, energy insecurity).
The project co-leaders are Cutler J. Cleveland, Professor of Earth and Environment, and Heather Clifford, data scientist in the Boston University Institute for Global Sustainability.
