The importance of transforming energy into sustainable, renewable solutions has never been so profound. The necessity of environmental change upholds the future of our society, health and planet. To inspire and influence change on the most important issue facing our society, we need a holistic understanding of the global energy market.
Energy and climate change training course will help the participants from the public and private sectors to better understand, design, and implement strategies to decarbonize energy economies based on cost-effective, local renewable energy solutions.
These strategies are vital tools against the very real threat of climate change faced by this and future generations of our species - and conveniently, renewable energy can often save end-users money if done correctly. For example, solar energy is now cheaper than conventional energy from the power grid in many cases. With energy storage, this renewable energy source can be as reliable as grid-supplied power as well.
