Climate Action

Human-caused climate change threatens human civilization and all life on earth. The Climate Action Certificate Program provides you with the specialized knowledge and skills needed to address this existential crisis. Work with the Franklin Pierce Institute for Climate Action on projects designed to reduce greenhouse gas production and increase climate resiliency. The knowledge areas of this Certificate encompass the science of the atmosphere, greenhouse gas pollution, and impacts on human health and the environment, as well as the social, economic and humanitarian dimensions that underlay both the problem and its many solutions. Improve your skills in problem-solving, communication, data analysis, information management and digital literacy as you implement solutions to the climate crisis. Students will work together on a problem-solving group project in the capstone course.
