La science des changements climatiques
Le programme s'étend sur cinq modules interconnectés, offrant une plongée profonde dans les multiples facettes des changements climatiques et de leurs implications. Dans le module inaugural, "Crises environnementales”, les étudiants sont conduits à travers une analyse complète des changements climatiques dans le cadre plus vaste des perturbations écologiques causées par l'activité humaine. Mettant en lumière l'interconnexion entre la crise climatique et d'autres enjeux environnementaux majeurs, tels que la perte de biodiversité, ce module met également en évidence les inégalités qui exacerbent ces problèmes. Ensuite, le module "Changements climatiques: la science physique et les causes" plonge dans les fondements scientifiques des changements climatiques, combinant les perspectives scientifiques et économiques pour une compréhension approfondie.

Le troisième volet, "La modélisation du changement climatique", initie les apprenants aux principes fondamentaux des modèles climatiques, les préparant à utiliser ces outils pour comprendre les changements climatiques induits par l'homme et les variations naturelles. En parallèle, le module "La justice climatique et les politiques publiques" présente les conséquences actuelles et possibles du réchauffement climatique et et explore les réponses sociétales aux changements climatiques à travers les politiques publiques, mettant en avant les perspectives autochtones et le concept de justice climatique. Mettant l'accent sur l'importance de la coopération internationale et de l'équité, ce module examine également les grandes ententes internationales et les actions gouvernementales locales et nationales.
Enfin, le cinquième module, "Les technologies récentes", expose une variété de solutions innovantes visant à promouvoir la neutralité carbone et le développement durable. Intégrant les dernières avancées technologiques, ce module explore également l'utilisation de modèles informatiques avancés pour aborder l'adaptation au changement climatique et prendre des décisions éclairées. Dans l'ensemble, ce programme offre une vision intégrée et holistique des défis climatiques actuels, combinant savoir scientifique, considérations sociétales et progrès technologiques pour former des intervenants aptes à relever les défis complexes du changement climatique avec des solutions durables et éclairées.
