Key Climate Agreements & Guidance For Policymakers

What you'll learn
History of climate change negotiations and overview of key international climate agreements
Role of the public sector in decarbonisation and energy transition
Guidance for policymakers for NDCs implementation and developing net zero strategy
Governments' tools and mechanisms to drive decarbonisation
Requirements
There are no special requirements or prerequisites. Anyone can learn from this course.
This course is best combined with its companion courses on Decarbonisation and Energy Transition (by sector)
Description
This training course is an extract from the longer course "Climate Change for Professionals" which is also available for purchase on Udemy.After we received feedback from the students asking to split that course into shorter and more manageable courses, we are happy to offer you a choice: you can either get the full course, or pick a shorter course with the topic that is more relevant to your learning objectives."Key Climate Agreements & Guidance for Policymakers" is a short course that explores the role of the public sector in decarbonisation of the economy and transition to net zero. Specifically we will look at the NDC implementation framework and tools and mechanisms available to the governments to drive energy transition and decarbonisation. This course is designed to:provide the history of international negotiations on climate change and give a brief overview of key climate agreements, including the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement;raise awareness about the role of governments in decarbonisation and energy transition;explain what countries' Net Zero commitments and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) mean in practice;discuss NDC implementation framework and provide examples of how it is addressed in some countries;explain concepts such as adaptation, mitigation, maladaptation, carbon pricing, circular economy and many moreYou don't need any prior knowledge of this subject, just an interest in government policy, climate negotiations and desire to learn about solutions to the formidable problem of climate change. However this course is best with its companion courses on Decarbonisation and Energy Transition (by sector).At the end of the course, we will test your knowledge with the multiple-question quiz and provide you with the Handout Slides with the summary of main points from the course.I hope you will enjoy this course and I am looking forward to your feedback and reviews.Sincerely yours,Julia Mariasova
