In this course, you will explore how human activity – mainly our burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal – is warming the earth’s atmosphere, land and seas.

The need for a "just transition" to a decarbonised transport system (so we don't park all the costs on people least able to afford them) and the need to deliver decarbonisation alongside other economic, social and environmental goals - as captured in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

It has been written specifically for highways and transportation professionals, delivering specialised content that meets the needs of you the learner.

The course is broken down into engaging, interactive bitesize modules, that enable you to quickly grasp the topic quickly. This bitesize format gives you the option for you to learn at your own pace when you have time.
