In this course we will take a journey from the Sun to the Sea to understand the science behind our changing climate. Are the present-day changes in our global climate really linked to our human activities here on Earth? And are there solutions available to solve the climate crisis?
In this course, participants will explore the various components of Earth's climate system including the oceans, cryosphere, biosphere, and volcanic activity. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how these elements interact with each other and contribute to global climate patterns. Additionally, the course covers how computer models synthesize this information to predict future climate scenarios and discusses potential solutions to address the climate crisis.
Learners will be able to apply their understanding of climate systems in various fields such as environmental policy, sustainability strategies, educational platforms, and in personal decision-making processes related to environmental conservation. The ability to analyze and interpret climate models will also empower learners to engage in informed advocacy and policy-making.

Our society today is facing many challenges: climate change, hunger, inequality,… But what is the current state of these issues? How did we get here? How are all these challenges connected? And what are different possibilities to move towards a more sustainable future?
Do you wish you could have an actual, tangible impact on global challenges, like climate change and pollution? Do you know of concrete issues in your community that need to change for the better, but no-one is taking on the challenge? Then let this online course empower you to ‘be the change you want to see in the world’. Join gamechangers from all over and start creating that sustainable environment now, right where you are.
This MOOC is the first part of an interconnected series of four MOOCs on Designing Resilient Regenerative Systems (DRRS) which bring together science, design and transformative praxis as a fluid, intervention-based and synergistic process for addressing complex challenges. This is explored through extending our worldviews, reframing complexity, designing as nature, activating our minds through physical movement, and connecting with new communities of practice. Successful completion of MOOC#1 is your gateway to enter the ETH Zurich DRRS executive degree program, with the first Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS).
