CLIMATE FUTURES MODULES

GFC Module 1: Climate Change

Climate Crisis & Climate Turnaround. Module 1 (Lessons 1-4) introduces the two most significant aspects of climate crisis: global warming and sea level rise. Global warming melts icecaps, resulting in storms, wildfires, sea level rise, and food shortages from loss of arable land to drought, floods, and salination. Generated by our industrialised lifestyle it is potentially irreversible. You will discover the challenges and increased risks of climate crisis and learn about the many alternative ways we can mitigate and adapt to them. Click the Image to ENROL.

GFC Module 2: Energy Systems

Old & New Energy Systems. Module 2 (Lessons 5-8) introduces the challenges of antiquated energy systems plus viable alternatives for making life on earth more sustainable, resilient, and healthy. We dive deeper into global warming, focussing on how greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere that overheat the planet are primarily linked to burning fossil fuels. We then explore ‘carbon sequestration’ strategies include planting and preserving forests, and Blue Carbon strategies of restoring coastal seagrass meadows, marshes, and mangroves.

GFC Module 3: Ecosystem

Ecosystem Collapse & Reboot. Module 3 (Lessons 9-12) explores ecosystem collapse on land and Ocean, that globally governs all climate. Examining multiple feedback loops that create tipping points, we trace the collapse of interlinked ecosystems that govern our planet. We explore the consequences of mass species extinction, and viable alternatives to business-as-usual. Lastly, we look at emerging practical strategies such as urban farming, food forests, regenerative agriculture, seaweed farming, and aquaculture. Click the Image to ENROL.
