This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the basic science behind climate change, international efforts to combat it, and the key concepts and strategies driving the transition to a more sustainable, low-carbon future. Learners will gain a solid understanding of the science, policies, and technologies involved in mitigating climate change and achieving international decarbonization goals.

By the end of this course, learners will have a solid grasp of the science of climate change, international decarbonization efforts, the role of hydrogen as an energy carrier, and carbon capture technologies. They will also be informed about the latest developments and projects in Singapore and other regions related to climate change mitigation and decarbonization.
