While the topic is more urgent than ever, the course needs to be updated. Most readings (and thus, the information that is supposed to be read) date from 2016 and before, and some of the links are even not filled with content any more (esp. in weeks 4+5). However, thanks for the many good inputs!

The course begins with an introduction to the subject of global warming and climate change. It calls our attention that the problem is real and we need to look for solutions fast! As the course proceeds, we are introduced to climate change policy vis-a-vis energy and electricity - the interlinkages.
The experts in the videos give us perspectives which give us food for thought. The readings are selective and lead us into other sources of information which is very informative and current.
It was a pleasant journey for me in doing the course. My submissions were reviewed by peers and I got the opportunity to review few others. I could get to know different line of thought processes while doing the peer review.
If you are policy maker, an activist, a corporate head, an investment banker or a student curious to get a hang of the subject then this is a very well structured course.
My sincere thanks to the faculty and his team for providing me this great opportunity.
Best Wishes,

I found the course extremely useful for understanding Globl Energy and Climate Policy by realizing the Paris Agreement + (2016-2016) and the transition period. The ned for integration and diversification ref renewables and fossil fuel use in traditional coal fired nuclear reactors and the ned for carbon sinks.
The financial response to investments. And public and private steakholders. Monopolis and problems reaching the zero carbon emissions by 2050 plus the global warming goal of preventing surface temperature rise above 2 degrees
To Winston Churchil for Energy Security policy and the need to insure supplies of Energy source ie. Oil from Persia and timely investments and sustainable use.
I enjoyed this course and pleased to find a field i cared about.

The course gives not only bird's eye view of the issues that are confronting the policy makers but is also comprehensive enough to have a very structured understanding of the issue. The course is well structured with the staggered source of energy starting from the conventional and largely current Fossil fuel to the future of nuclear energy option.
The exercise to write one view at the end of each topic enables one to recap the course material that have been read and surmise the same in 250 words. It has been a very useful course to understand the subject.

Very good course and very well structured. I loved the contribution of the interviewed specialist and the peer reviews: the topics to build essays on were relevant. The need to deep dive to complete them were absolutely helpful to understand the arguments thoroughly given the need to find information in the course readings and elsewhere.
Recommended for all those willing to understand how technologies and policies need to work together towards a sustainable world

It is an excellent course, especially for policymakers, governments, NGOs and entrepreneurs. The course content is excellent. The insights provided are holistic. The course material is excellent. However, a few of the study materials weren't available. I request the University to ensure these are made available to students. The assignments are rigorous and requires adequate preperation. What I loved is the peer review. It is excellent.

Nicely explained the concepts of global warming and danger posed by fossil fuels, renewable energy opportunities, nuclear energy potentials and problems, energy security and climate change. The videos and materail made our concepts more clear and improved our understanding on this burning issue. It is a useful course not only for policy makers but also for every one who has concern for the global warming problem.

Learning about climate change had never been so organized and interesting! This was such a great course and an interesting platform to learn more about climate change and how we have gone so far with our policies in facing it. It's great to know that there have been a lot of initiatives and developments in the energy sector as we commit to renewables for the future.
