Rapid Urbanisation & Urban Transformation. Module 1 (Lessons 1-4) introduces you to rapid urbanisation and associated challenges: ghettoisation and the loss of agricultural land. The key drivers of “old urbanisation” were industrialisation and globalisation, both motivated by economic growth. The drivers of the new urbanism include sustainability, and the creativity to build cities that value people and planet over profit. We explore why ‘smart cities’ are not always high-tech; how ‘post-industrial’ design can rejuvenate the ghost towns of the industrial era; and the growth in eco-villages, and renewable energy cities. This Module supports UN SDG 2, 7, 11, 12, 15. On completion you will receive a Certificate of Completion (Global Socio-Cultural Futures Module 1: City Futures) from Global Futures Education.

We dive deeper into the detailed causes of 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.

Ecosystem Collapse & Reboot Module 3 (Lessons 9-12) explores ecosystem collapse on land, plus in the Ocean that globally governs all climate. By 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, which is already happening, 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. Unlock the secrets of nature in Module 3: Ecosystem. Learn how to identify, protect and sustain key elements of the environment.
