Climate Literacy Training for Students

Empower your students with climate literacy

Did you know that the recent Microsoft Closing the Sustainability Skills Gap report contains three recommendations, including one with special reference to higher education institutions: “the world must prepare the next generation of workers for the sustainability jobs of the future”?

Ecotopian Careers helps deliver this requirement with its Climate Literacy for Business online course that can either be accessed on its own or in combination with monthly webinars during semester time for your students. The course objectives are to:

  • Develop climate literacy in the context of business
  • Help make every job a climate job
  • Find a sweet spot between too easy and too hard.

The course and webinars are delivered by Dr Joseph Gelfer, founder of Ecotopian Careers, convener of the Work and Careers group at Climate Coaching Alliance and an En-ROADS Climate Ambassador with Climate Interactive.
