Online Course on Environment An Agenda for Survival

Course begins on: 4 January 2021 
Duration: Two weeks 
Platform: Moodle 
Language of instruction: English 

India Ð with its vulnerable ecology, diversified economic base, and activities and practices many of which are detrimental to environment Ð had been continuing on its growth path until COVID-19 brought everything to an abrupt halt. The days of the lockdown brought some benefits; emissions, for instance, reduced. What has the pandemic taught us? How sustainable have been these benefits?

It is clear that the pandemic has not changed things very much: the country continues to be beset by a multitude of concerns. Air pollution has reared its ugly head once again. Climate risks continue to stalk the country's poor, despite official claims of India's progress. Threats to natural resources, forests, wildlife and biodiversity persist.

This online training course, exclusively conceptualised and customised by Centre for Science and Environment for the invited participants, is aimed at providing a perspective on the country's environment and development concerns; the movements and actions initiated to address them; and a plan for the way ahead. It will also educate on the existing interlinkages between the various thematic areas of environment.

The course would encourage self-study, and has been designed in a way to help the participants study the resource material in a structured manner over the twoweek period. Participants will be provided learning material such as soft copies of documents, presentations, videos, real-world case studies etc. Quizzes and webinars will also be part of the course.

CSE will provide a Certificate of Participation to all the course participants.
