About the Course

Each part of the world faces specific vulnerabilities to climate change and has different opportunities to mitigate the effects and build resilience
in the 21st century. With the ratification of the Paris Agreement, many countries have acceded to act in combatting climate change. Indeed,
without climate action, decades of sustainable development is at risk, thus making this a ‘make or break’ point in time. Showcasing the most
recent scientific evidence, explaining the different regional impacts and divulging climate action strategies, along with interactive tools such as
a Carbon Footprint Tracker and (I) NDC Platform, this MOOC provides some opportunities, where you can take action on clima...

Excellent learning experience, great resources, such mind-blowing facts and quite provocative to action. Thank you all who made this a reality. I am more empowered to fight mitigate climate change.

Very informative and engaging. The assignments, quizzes and final project greatly helped to hone skills, knowledge and awareness in climate change impacts, mitigation and adaptiveness measures.

The course was interesting, especially the peer assignments which I found stimulating. The required readings are very heavy but not always indispensable to succeed in the quizzes. In most videos, you can see that speakers are not professional educators and sometimes I wish key concepts would have been more clearly defined. Some videos address too many different topics and should have been broken down in smaller chunks. There are also a lot of repetitions. The ESA videos were actually the best.

I liked the abundance of resources the course provided. It definitely inspired me to dive deeper and continue my own research.

I wish the content was more up to date. A lot of information was from several years ago and some goals/projects mentioned had a deadline in 2020. Since we are already mid-2020, it would have been nice to access more recent data. This was my biggest disappointment. I also didn't enjoy the assigments that much - they were very time-consuming yet not very satisfying.

Interessant course. However, the pair review system is not working well. Some people put bad grades without even bothering writing any suggestion to improve, which is not in accordance with the Coursera requests for pair review. Also you sometimes have to review something which is not in a language that you can understand. So for writing you can use a translator, which is more or less ok, but for videos it is much more difficult.

It is a very good course to understand the climate change impacts.

But has several limitations:

_The time expected for reading id underestimated;

_The reports and videos presented have more are around 10 years old and, the is surely information that need to be upgraded;

_The adaptation chapter could be improved, particularly in terms of good practice.

Good information but outdated. General principles are still the same, but there's so much newer science to include.

There is no way to discuss anything with anybody. Lots of students say the same. I finished the Course on climate-science but did not receive a certificate Fred
