What are the curriculum’s learning objectives, and how in-depth is it?

The curriculum is robust and builds practical climate literacy over 12 weeks, taking you from foundations to sector-by-sector depth.

By the end of the Fellowship, we aim for you to be able to:

• Explain the process of planetary warming and the impacts of climate change on the planet and human well-being.
• Explain how the public sector, private sector, non-profit sector, and philanthropy have each contributed to climate change and can shape the potential solutions to climate change.
• Assess the potential of various climate solutions, individually and in combination.
• Infuse a climate justice framework into analyses of climate change causes, impacts, and solutions.
• Apply climate-related knowledge to personal and professional goals.

Each weekly sector then goes deeper with its own learning objectives — for example, evaluating policy options to expand renewable energy, determining the quality of a nature-based carbon removal project, comparing compliance and voluntary carbon markets, or applying life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology in the circular economy.
