The course series is designed as a blended learning journey, combining several online self-paced courses with live webinars to create an engaging and flexible learning experience. The self-paced courses allow participants to build foundational knowledge at their own rhythm, while the interactive webinars offer opportunities to deepen understanding, discuss real-world applications, and connect with fellow participants across contexts. The learning journey unfolds across three thematic modules, each with a specific focus and learning objective, ensuring a progressive development of skills and knowledge. Upon successful completion of all courses and webinars, participants will receive a certificate recognizing their achievement.

Module 1: 

Gender & Climate lays the groundwork for inclusive climate action by introducing participants to essential gender concepts and exploring the intersection of gender and environmental issues. Through foundational courses, learners examine how gender roles and norms influence climate vulnerability and resilience, and why a gender-responsive approach is crucial for sustainable development and disaster risk management. A live webinar will bring participants together to reflect on their learnings and share insights from their own experiences applying gender perspectives in climate-related fields.

Module 2: 

Conflict & Climate turns to the growing body of knowledge linking climate change with peace and security. This module equips participants with analytical tools to understand the root causes and dynamics of conflict, and how climate-related stressors can exacerbate insecurity. Learners will explore integrated approaches for addressing climate-related security risks in a conflict-sensitive manner. A dedicated webinar will provide a space for dialogue around strategies to strengthen resilience and peacebuilding through inclusive climate adaptation.

Module 3: 

Climate Leadership focuses on cultivating leadership skills for influencing policy and driving change. Participants will explore the structure and processes of international climate negotiations, develop key competencies for inclusive and impactful leadership, and learn stress management tools to sustain long-term engagement. The module culminates in a webinar on career strategies and leadership for climate impact, followed by a final peer-learning session where participants will reflect on their journey, share takeaways, and articulate their next steps for professional and community-based action.
