In this MOOC we explore how to educate and train individuals on sustainability-related topics in impactful ways. We will also examine research, development and innovation of sustainability in living labs on the campus, business park or public space of your organisation. These environments themselves can serve as catalysts for effective change by applying ecological principles, promoting biodiversity and enhancing green infrastructure.
The course is therefore particularly relevant for academic staff, students and support personnel in higher education institutions. It is also valuable for organisational leaders and managers responsible for staff training, R&D, development and maintenance of public or commercial environments.
Apart from short lectures by experts, the MOOC is complemented by videos of interviews with practitioners who implement sustainability initiatives in real-world settings. They will bring insights that will highlight practical challenges, offer strategies to overcome barriers, and provide concrete examples of what can be achieved.
After completing this course, you will gain a clear understanding of which climate actions can be implemented within your circle of influence – whether in education or training, research, development and innovation on your campus, business park or public space. You will also learn how to transform these environments into climate-adaptive and green spaces that enhance biodiversity.
