DESCRIPTION
Climate Change DiplomaĀ
Industrialisation and technological advancements in recent decades have
adversely impacted the Earth's environment and climatic conditions. Climate
change, directly and indirectly, affects the life of humanity and the rest of
the organisms. Hence, it has become crucial to be aware of the climate crisis
and foster a strong understanding of its effects. This Climate Change Diploma
course introduces the students to many aspects of climate change. The areas
explored in this Course include the Earth's biomes, structural development,
oceans, and climate regulation. One will also study the influence of human
activities such as industrialisation and agriculture, the response of humanity
to the climate crisis, and how the Earth's climatic conditions will look in the
future.
Climate change or crisis refers to extended alterations in weather patterns and
temperature. These alterations can also occur naturally. However, the rapid
change in climate since the 19th century is predominantly due to human
activities, including fossil fuel combustion (like oil, gas, and coal), which
creates gases that trap heat (greenhouse gases).
The Climate Change Diploma course introduces climate, its scientific study, and
the effect of greenhouse gases on the Earth's natural conditions. Later, the
Course explores the development and history of the Earth's composition and its
relation to the surface climate.
The Climate Change Diploma course will take one through distinct climates along
with Earth's varying biomes, their response to changes in climatic conditions,
and the differences between the Earth's principal climate control biogeochemical
cycles. The learners will also explore the reaction of oceans to the increase in
atmospheric carbon concentration and their effect on energy and material
exchange.
The Diploma course in Climate Change will require around 160 hrs to complete,
using an e-learning method. The Course does not have a time limit, and the
learners can complete it at their own pace.
For those who are enthusiastic about the planet's wildlife, ecosystems, climate
wellbeing, and implications related to the activities of humanity, the Diploma
course in Climate Change provides the crucial information required to understand
the grave issue of the climate crisis and how society can live sustainably to
battle it.
Learners will gain thorough knowledge about the effects of climate on
ecosystems, weather, and human endeavours such as development and culture. The
Climate Change Diploma course will investigate how agriculture affects the
environment, how urbanisation affects geography, and how industrialisation
affects climate, including the current implications of non-renewable fuels
(fossil fuels).
Towards the end of the Course, one will study the strategies for climate
response through renewable resources, methods of production, and renewable
resources. The learner will also explore the timelines of change in climate,
climate trends, and response movements for sources of sustainable cities, policy
development, and renewable energy sources.

ASSESSMENT
Each unit concludes with a multiple-choice examination. This exercise will help
you recall the major aspects covered in the unit and help you ensure that you
have not missed anything important in the unit. The results are readily
available, which will help you see your mistakes and look at the topic once
again. If the result is satisfactory, it is a green light for you to proceed to
the next chapter.
