Climate change and energy: past, present and future
By now, we all know that climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. We hear that global warming is leading to the melting of glaciers and losses of biodiversity. But what is the actual extent of climate change and its consequences? How does our increasing energy demand contribute to climate change? What is decision-makers around the world doing to tackle climate change, and is it sufficient? If you are curious to find answers to these questions and would like to get a deeper understanding of the topic of climate change, this course is for you. You will gain in-depth knowledge on past and present climate and how it has been affected by our energy system. You will get insights into climate modelling and prediction of future climate, and how we can mitigate or adapt to climate change.
