Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our planet — but understanding it is the first step toward acting effectively. This course helps learners make sense of what climate change really means, how it differs from normal weather changes, and why it matters to our lives today. Through practical examples from Ethiopia and around the world, you’ll explore how human activities contribute to climate change and discover how rising temperatures affect farming, water resources, and public health. The lessons use simple explanations, real-life stories, and engaging visuals to connect science with daily life. By the end of the course, you’ll not only understand the causes and impacts of climate change, but also learn everyday actions that individuals, families, and communities can take to reduce risks and build resilience.
