Climate Crisis and Clean Energy Virtual Internship

Surface and ocean temperatures, as well as carbon dioxide levels, are at an all-time high. The ice at both of Earth's poles are melting, resulting in rising global sea levels. Evidence also suggests that higher ocean temperatures are causing a greater incidence of tropical storms. Warmer seas are also killing corals.

You will learn about the main drivers of climate change, and explore case studies illustrating bold and innovative approaches to climate change issues. Case examples are drawn from government entities to NGOs, and from social enterprises to community-based organizations.
