The climate is changing, and we all have a role to play in creating a more sustainable future. This online course provides a pathway for students to develop their skills and knowledge around the concept of sustainability at a local, national and international level, as well as deepen their understanding of how sustainable living can be pursued by individuals across many aspects of their lives. It is also offered at no cost for eligible domestic students (see below). 

By completing this course, students will gain a solid grasp of sustainability practices and how to apply their knowledge in their homes, their communities, or in commercial and social enterprises.

These goals encompass the following themes: sustainability at home, sustainability in the environment, sustainability as a social enterprise, sustainability to empower transformative change, sustainability and justice and, sustainability and human health.
