Oxford School of Climate Change Michaelmas 2022

I’m delighted to have been accepted into the Oxford School of Climate Change Michaelmas 2022 course.

Organized by the student-run Oxford Climate Society, the Oxford School of Climate Change is an eight-week ‘Climate 101’ course. The lectures will be taught by some of Oxford University’s climate experts.

An accessible programme, costing only £5 for each online participant for the entire course, it is open to applicants of all backgrounds and expertises. I am not affiliated with the University of Oxford and have never studied there, and was still accepted. Once a week over teams/zoom, a lecture is delivered by a climate change expert for one hour, followed by break out group discussions. I would encourage anyone interested to sign up for the next term, sign up for their newsletter to get information on when applications open for their next term.

The ‘term card’ for Michaelmas 2022 is as follows:

Week 1 - ‘Climate Change, the Science and the IPCC’ by Professor Myles Allen

I’m most interested in learning more about Net Zero, and hearing Professor' Thomas Hale’s take on the upcoming COP27.
