SFU Continuing Studies launches new Climate Action Certificate program

While scientific solutions to climate change exist, lack of action is causing the climate emergency to emerge as one of the biggest threats facing our planet. What can one individual do? A new program coming to Simon Fraser University this fall hopes to turn students into problem solvers. SFU Continuing Studies is launching the Climate Action Certificate program to help professionals impacted by the climate emergency shift their ideas to action and solutions. The new online program offers the practical skills, knowledge, and strategies necessary to overcome systemic barriers, apply effective climate solutions, and lead and implement equitable climate change plans. An information session for the online program, which is currently open for registration, is planned for Monday, June 26 at 1 pm. The program is designed for anyone working in government, planning, engineering, or other sectors impacted by climate change. Program instructors, including former Vancouver city councillor Andrea Reimer and SFU-s Ginger Gosnell-Myers , Lindsay Heller , and Rita Steele , are all active leaders in the climate field.
