This free online course explores how climate shapes the way we live, the food we eat, the water we drink and the cities we live in.

From the fundamental science of the atmosphere to the social, economic and political consequences of climate change, some expert archaeologists, scientists, geographers and engineers will guide students.

The course starts with an overview of the climatic system, how it’s changed over time and how it’s predicted to change in future. Then, it will focus on the impact of climate change on our lives. Finally, the course will take a look at policy - why it’s needed, what’s been done and what’s next.
