Climate Classroom

The Climate Classroom @ COP28 is a short interactive learning experience designed to help those attending or following climate meetings get quickly up-to-speed on important climate issues. The Climate Classroom @ COP28 will be UN CC:Learn’s 11th edition and each day throughout COP our team of experts will deliver a series of free online classes that introduce learners to a range of climate change topics – allowing delegates, professionals, and other interested parties to follow and contribute to climate discussions.

Check out below the list of online classes that you are invited to attend. Click on the title of the class to register.

What others have said about past Climate Classrooms:

The Climate Classroom is an amazing opportunity to learn first-hand information from experts working in the UN, and meet other climate enthusiasts who could share valuable information from their experience.

I’m currently working for the Multi-stakeholder Climate Action Plan in Njombe-Tanzania. The Climate Classroom has provided an extra view of what we need to do and how committed we need to be in an interactive manner.

It was definitely a fantastic learning experience. The class was excellent and apparently, it was good enough that it taught both beginners and advanced some new things about keyword research and search engine optimization.

This session is highly relevant as the concepts/ideas, experiences, and lessons shared were all interesting, useful, and practical. The most valuable takeaway for me is the application of impact-based forecasting for anticipatory action. Kudos to the speakers and organizers!
