Adaptations to Global Climate Change
As you face an increasingly transformed world, many face anxiety. They hear the science and are discouraged. This phenomenon of ‘climate anxiety’ is well-documented and growing. You will focus on culture and social institutions in adaptation to global climate change. This certificate provides an opportunity for you to examine the possibilities of their future in the Anthropocene, particularly examining the social and cultural side of managing life under climate change. It will give you a chance to both think about the future in creative and analytical ways, while also providing them certification to future employers that they are preparing for our future.
