  • The principles and key dimensions of sustainability
  • The SDGs as a blueprint for monitoring the progress to SD
  • How the concept of sustainability considers the planetary boundaries and human-environment interactions

Climate Solutions Accelerator

This Myplace module is designed to be taken after the SD500 course and is part of the all-new Sustainability Passport that can be earned by students and staff.  The Climate Solutions Accelerator course is a partnership between the University and the Scottish Geographical Society.  It is designed to go beyond climate literacy (which is necessary but not sufficient to support you take action), and to equip learners with the knowledge and skills on how to take effective action on climate change and other sustainability crises.  It has been studied by over 100,000 participants in a range of languages and in some of the world’s largest corporations.

The course will

  • Reinforce that there’s an ever-increasing momentum driving the need for individuals, organisations and governments to take action on climate change 
  • Improve your understanding of the science behind climate change;
  • Highlight relevant policies that could affect you, businesses and all organisations;
  • Focus on solution and set out what governments, organisations and individuals can do to combat climate change.
