You can view the program’s curriculum on this page.

Here is feedback from prior participants of this certificate program:

“I have been part of other climate fellowships during my career transition into clean energy, and this programme is leagues above others.”

“The Climate Solutions program sharpened how I translate carbon policy and climate strategy into decisions that businesses can act on.”
