I found the Certificate in Climate Change Policy and Governance to be a really valuable learning experience. As someone working in sustainable development in Egypt, I was keen to learn more about the policy and governance aspects of climate change. The course covered a lot of ground, from the basics of climate science to the intricacies of international climate negotiations. I appreciated the emphasis on practical examples and case studies, which helped to illustrate key concepts and make them more relatable. The course materials were generally good, although some of the readings could be a bit dry at times. Overall, I'm glad I took the course and would recommend it to others looking to build their knowledge and skills in this area.
