THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR NOT ACTING ON CLIMATE CHANGE
As an environment degrades, the living plants and animals within them are faced with a depletion of resources; in effect, a different set of resources to live with. They must either adapt, or their populations change (or, in the extreme, disappear). Such changes in populations will in turn result in a further degradation and impact upon the stability of other aspects of the environment. In essence, everything is interlinked and interdependent.
WHERE CAN THIS COURSE CAN LEAD YOU
Your knowledge of climate science will grow as you learn more; and as this happens, you will begin to develop an awareness of people, organisations and resources. The opportunity to expand your networking within the environmental industries will develop and if you take up the opportunities that present, you will rapidly move onto a pathway to expand experience and further opportunities in the future.
This is a course for people with a passion for the environment, a desire to contribute to the future of our planet, and at the same time develop career or business opportunities that can sustain you throughout your working life.
Success is not so much a matter of having a high level of formal studies. It is more about having a foundation of knowledge, gaining some experience, and seizing upon opportunities as they reveal themselves to you.
