Climate Solutions - UAE (English) (Coursera) The University of Edinburgh

Overview

Throughout the Climate Solutions - UAE (English) (Coursera) from The University of Edinburgh you'll learn that as the global climate has been warming, this heat has not been equally distributed around the world. In fact, the UAE has warmed at almost twice the average global rate, now experiencing temperatures around 1.8 degrees Celsius warmer than prior to the industrial revolution.

 This level of change has had a drastic impact on the country. You will discover how the country’s climate has changed over the years, what is expected to happen in the future, and how those further changes could continue to impact human health, agriculture, and the economy. In the final two weeks, you’ll look at ways to mitigate climate risk and things that you can do to help tackle the climate crisis. You’ll also discover actions that you can take to get involved and inspire others to join the fight against the climate emergency.

What you'll learn:

• How climate change has impacted and will continue to impact UAE
• Why it’s important to you, everyone you know, and all life on our planet
• What governments and big business need to do

• How you can tackle climate change in every facet of your life
