Hello and thank you Fannie for indicating that course.
Manu,
Besides the Turn down the Heat mentioned above, that I was a good way to read the report from the WB, I followed (and enjoyed) last year two short courses on sustainability with strong chapters on/relation to climate change :
- Introduction to sustainability (DR. Jonathna tomkin, university of Illinois, 8 weeks) : https://www.coursera.org/learn/sustainability
- The Age of Sustainable Development (Dr. J. Sachs, University of Columbia, 14 weeks): https://www.coursera.org/learn/sustainable-development
For MOOC , beisdes the platforms already mentioned, I also consult the Fun platform (courses in French) : https://www.france-universite-numerique-mooc.fr/
