This is by far the best MOOC I have ever taken. Thijs and Paul manage to strike a balance between the local and the global level of climate action, between academic and practical knowledge, and between hope and alarm about the climate crisis. As a person who has been interested and active in climate action for a while this course managed to deepen my knowledge and make me look at my own environment in a completely different way. Would definitely recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed the course; it provided me with valuable insights and practical information on taking meaningful actions to help the environment. The content was both informative and engaging, offering a comprehensive understanding of ways to contribute positively. I would highly recommend this course to anyone eager to learn more about environmental initiatives and how individuals can make a difference. The course not only enhanced my knowledge but also empowered me with actionable steps to implement in my daily life.

Maravilhoso! Acrescentou muito ao meu conhecimento sobre o assunto. Ambos os professores são geniais, excelentes. Recomendo este curso a todos. Acredito até que todos os cursos universitários deveriam apresentar uma disciplina baseada nas estratégias usadas por este curso. É urgente que mais pessoas entendam o que está acontecendo ao planeta e à nossa civilização. Tenho uma imensa gratidão pelo Coursera e pelos professores Thijs Bosker e Paul Behrens.
